As I saw, EMBT made IBLite for iOs and Android nearly at the same
time, even before XE5 with Android support, where IBLite for Android
could be used.
But, one of the causes of that fast move could be only that they have
one superserver architecture.

yes.

Sure, but why not to rule the world? Currently only SQLite
occupied mobile world. There is still chance to change it.
Firebird Embedded, as you know, works as a client for Firebird (!) server,
and even if someone will not use Embedded to store DB on the mobile,
it is a simpliest way to connect from mobile to server.
Currently "remote connect" support is very poor at mobile devices.
