Taken from Apple's April, 2010 "iPhone Apps for Business" newsletter.

As for Notes Traveler and iPad, David Leedy has a pretty comprehensive blog entry about it.  It works, we know it works, we are driving towards formal support ASAP.

Oh and ibm.com will have a new page about Lotus Notes Traveler next week, featuring all the updates we've made to Traveler in the last several months.  I'll blog the update.

    Great news for us. Next time can we have our platform at the start of the revolution. It would be nice.

    Very nice!

    Now if they could only change the name shown in the iPhone from an "Exchange" account to an "ActiveSync" account....

    @3

    I'd assumed.

    They don't listen to outside folks very well, do they?

    (no, don't answer that.)

    This is very exciting... just as I was about to ditch domino for google.

    Great!... Oh wait.

    Upon reading it looks like Lotus Traveler/Domino is for Windows Server only? We are running Linux. Are we SOL as always? I almost wish IBM would ditch linux because never have feature parity, and real "multi-platform" support. Did I just say that? Ok, not really, but things move too fast to always be waiting for Linux and Mac support to catch up. "Multi-Platform" should be taken more seriously.

    I have 8 years into this now, and just need things to move faster. I'm always making excuses and sacrifices for my decision to keep domino in my small business.

    Sorry for the rant, this is good news overall. I hope Linux gets it to.

    Brent

    Am I reading this wrong? Or is Traveler really only for domino on windows servers?

    thanks

    @5 Traveler today runs on Windows server but in 8.5.2, runs on Linux as well. If you would like to be part of the 8.5.2 beta, contact me. We are planning to release 8.5.2 next quarter.

    That's great news!!!! Has this been announced or made public? I'm sure many others would be happy to know this.

    Thanks!

    I was wondering if there were any types of security measures to capture SMS messages on the IPhone or turn the feature off?

    Traveler is up and running on Domino 8.5.2 on CentOS 5.5 and works great except for the ability to compose and send a new email (you can recive and reply on emails, but not send new mails - maybe I'm doing something wrong :)
