Notes USB or Notes WANDA

Notes Development Add comments

One of my favorite announcements from IBM/Lotus at Lotusphere 2006 appears to be picking up some speed. Jeff Eisen, Lotus’ chief strategy dude (that’s not exactly his title) recently was interviewed about the upcoming product that will allow you to take your entire Lotus Notes experience with you on a USB drive.

Rundown:

  • Your full Notes experience is contained on the USB drive
  • Plop the drive into your PC, wait for the icon to appear on the desktop, click it and go!
  • Perfect for remote users who need to use multiple PCs
  • Perfect for users who complain about taking their laptop with them traveling
  • When you’re done, unplug it and your whole Notes experience is saved on the USB drive.
  • Apparently, there is a 512MB minimum device requirement. The max depends on what all you put on Notes (I assume that you replicate to the USB drive like any other local folder on a PC).

Check out the video for yourself.
