Lotus Notes Traveler Enables The Exchange-Less Business User
People seem to forget that Microsoft’s Exchange ActiveSync isn’t the only solution out there for businesses with comprehensive corporate communication (say that three times fast) needs, and that’s why you should take notice to IBM’s upcoming push into the Android market with Lotus Notes Traveler.
Apparently, it will work just like their iPhone offering which allows you to collaborate with your co-workers, as well as provide two-way synchronization of all your contacts, emails, and calendar entries. Initially, Traveler will be aimed at Android 2.0+ users with the Google Nexus One and the Motorola Droid. I can’t imagine they’ll keep too many other Android users from enjoying their work-related data for long, though.
I know quite a few Android users who use IBM’s enterprise platform and would love to have a painless solution for pulling their information down on the go (if you’ve ever tried to set up Lotus on a non-official client, you’ll agree with me: it’s not fun). We hope to hear more about availability of Traveler soon.
