You’ve probably already read this, but just in case you’re late to the party…  check it out.

Great news!

Interesting message from iTunes

Uh, OK.  And what am I supposed to do with this?  Got this the other night when trying to sync with iTunes.  One three finger salute later and it was gone.

FAQ – Lotus iNotes Support for Apple iPhone

Thanks to Kevin Hansen for bringing this to our attention and to Paul Mooney for posting it.

Check out what Ed Brill had to say in comment #7 on this post on his blog.  So now I’m confused.  I would not be surprised if the SDK did not allow IBM to write a Traveler client for iPhone.  I’m not sure that’s really what people want, anyway.  But from what Ed says, it would seem that Apple could license the Traveler server protocols to connect their own iPhone applications to a Domino server.

Am I off base here?  If so, let me know.

Hello world!

Welcome to domino / iphone / blog.  Why are we doing this? Well, our boss gave iPhones to some of us in R&D to play with.  Happy day, right?  And then he told us to figure out how to make them work with Domino.  We’re all waiting for an executive to walk downstairs with one.  There’s lots of great info out there on this subject (along with lots of hand-wringing about the type of support offered for Exchange).  No matter; it’s up to us to make this thing work.  That’s what we do.  We’re not Domino fanboys (I was the admin in a past life, but that was back in the R6 days), but I know that we’re not about to move to Exchange any time soon.

So anyway, we figured we need someplace to share our findings with each other.  That’s when I was reminded of what George Bernard Shaw said:

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.

So we asked our bosses and got permission to start a public blog on the subject.  Hopefully this will help you, and I’m sure we’ll learn quite a bit in the process.

Thanks,

Mike E.
