2008. IBM to Release Lotus Notes for iPhone
IBM and Apple have entered into an agreement under which IBM will develop software for the iPhone and iPod. It will allow users to receive and send email, according to the Associated Press. The official announcement of Lotus Notes for these devices will take place at the Lotusphere conference in Orlando next week. Lotus Notes works in conjunction with the Domino server software. For those already licensed to use Lotus via the web interface, the application will be free. A Lotus Notes license for iPhone/iPod costs $39 per user. IBM also plans to release Lotus Notes and the completely free Lotus Symphony office suite for the Mac OS X platform.
2007. Lotus Notes 8.0 introduces Office document editors
The new version of the Lotus Notes 8.0 collaboration system includes a free office suite for working with documents called Lotus Symphony. It includes a word processor, spreadsheets, and presentation editor. Like the new version of Lotus Notes, Lotus Symphony applications are built on the Eclipse platform and support ODF (Open Document Format for XML) formats—an open, non-proprietary standard that is an alternative to Microsoft's Open XML. Lotus Symphony will compete not only with MS Office but also with online editors like Google Docs. In addition to the office suite, the new version of Lotus Notes features a new, modern Web 2.0-style interface and numerous new features for managing email, calendars, and contacts.
2006. IBM Brings Lotus Notes/Domino to Linux
In July of this year, IBM introduced a Linux version of its IBM Lotus Notes client, which provides access to IBM messaging, calendaring, and database applications. In June, Net Integration Technologies released Nitix with IBM Lotus Domino, a Domino server running on Nitix (a Linux-based operating system). This made IBM's collaboration system accessible to companies using open technologies. The Lotus Notes Linux client is not a stand-alone product and must run on the IBM Workplace Managed Client platform, which uses the Eclipse framework. However, this is much better than running the Windows version of Notes using virtualization technology. As for Nitix with IBM Lotus Domino, the Domino server is built directly into the Linux distribution developed by Net Integration Technologies.
