Lotus Notes E-Mail May Come to the iPhone
An IBM spokesman briefly says IBM Lotus Notes developers will be working on a Notes e-mail application for iPhone 2.0.

Visto Mobile for the iPhone
Another vendor that already offers Notes e-mail access on the iPhone is Visto Corp.
The Redwood City, Calif. company debuted its Visto Mobile software last November. The software, which can also work with Exchange e-mail, starts at $10 per device per month.
Visto was able to offer iPhone wireless synchronization by using the smart phone's built-in IMAP features. Besides e-mail, it can also access a corporate directory to gather contact information. However, Visto does not offer any remote management features such as killing lost devices, nor does it wirelessly synchronize calendar, contacts or task data between server and iPhone.
True synchronization of Notes' contacts, calendar and tasks with the iPhone today appears to be a kludgy, wired-only process. For instance, Information Appliance Associates last month released its GoBetween for Lotus Notes software, which augments the existing two-step iSync process on Macs, said Tim Goggin, vice president of sales and marketing for the San Diego company.
In other words, new tasks or calendar entries entered into the iPhone must be synced with the Lotus Notes software on the Mac before they can be replicated on the Domino server, and vice versa, Goggin said. He said the company, better known for its PocketMac sync software, has no plans to add e-mail or wireless sync capabilities.
