Another site where the user is forced to really dig to quickly understand what the product does. How many clicks did it take you to really understand what was going on?
No clicks, I think the first paragraph covers it:

We are thrilled to announce official support for Android on the StackMob platform. Mobile developers now have a single powerful backend for both their Android and iOS applications. The process of building, deploying and scaling an Android app will be very similar to iOS and it couldn’t be easier to get started..

Still does not explain what it does.

From your excerpt:

- the platform now supports Android,

- it worked on iOS before too,

- the process on Android is similar to iOS,

- it's easy.

But it still does not answer the question: what it is?

Few more clicks and I found it: you can design REST API, integrates notifications, analytics and social platforms. I guess it has its niche, someone may be interested in this, but hardly most Android developers.

seemed pretty obvious once you'd seen "C2DM". The tool looks quite impressive - like that it's IOS and Android. Will be giving it a try in the future.
Sweet. We built this platform to make your lives somewhat easier. We look forward to having you on the platform.
The same number of clicks that it did to find out that it was in private beta, get annoyed that my time was being wasted and leave.
Thanks so much for your honest feedback. I can see how frustrating that must be. We are completely redoing our website and will keep your comments in mind. Thanks!
