SUP with DOE enables SUP to talk to Netweaver Mobile. DOE is not recommended for new mobile solutions. SAP Jco is another option given to talk to SAP (SUP MBO apps uses it). It is explained well in Viru's comment.
SAP's recommended way of mobile app development is Odata as interface between SMP and SAP. ie SAP is going with open standard like Odata (http/https). So it allows you to choose your own development tool to develop the app since Odata is an open standard (SAP Mobile Platform).
To expose Odata services from SAP, Netweaver gateway is needed in between SAP and SMP (SAP Mobile Platform). Netweaver Gateway comes as an add on for SAP or it can be installed in a separate server. It is free for existing SAP business suite customers.
SMP 3 is a combination of SUP, Syclo Agentry and Mobiliser, it may be released by June. It supports only Odata. MBO based existing apps are supported through a sidecar.
