IBM has taken a major step in helping Apple to make the iPhone the premiere mobile device in the corporate environment. IBM has issued iNotes Ultralite, a software packages that enables the iPhone to the e-mail, contacts, and calendar functions if its Lotus Notes software.
Lotus Notes is very popular in the corporate environment, with over 140 million corporate licensees worldwide. iNotes Ultralite works through the iPhone's Safari browser so that no confidential information remains on the iPhone itself—IBM felt it was the best approach to use for maintaining security of corporate data in lost or stolen iPhones.

isnt this old news? Is there an actual app yet or is it still the web service where the notes web server has to be upgraded to 8.02?
One more time…delivering a web app is NOT the same thing as delivering a native iPhone app…and spinning it to say “IBM felt it was the best approach to use for maintaining security of corporate data in lost or stolen iPhones” is just crap! RIM and Microsoft both provide data security on mobile devices. This is simply a failure of engineering by IBM…nothing more.
