Since the iPhone was announced, I’ve written about:

• My first impressions with the iPhone
• An anticipated product that connects Notes to the iPhone
• My experiences with connection Lotus Notes to the iPhone

And now, I can stop. IBM announced that they will announce an announcement (yeah, you read that right) at Lotusphere next week about the ability to run Lotus Notes ON the iPhone. This is HUGE news! It suggests that I’ll be able to have my entire Lotus Notes experience on the iPhone.

I can’t believe that! So I’m going to not hold my breath and hope for 1/4 of that statement to actually be delivered. That way, I won’t be disappointed and I’ll still be thrilled. Either way, you know I’ll be blogging about it the moment the announcement is announced (yeah, you read that right, too).

But that’s not all! They’ve also announced to announce (ever see “Oceans 13″ where one of the characters says “Soft opening. Grand opening. In my time, one day the place was closed the next it was open. That’s it!” — I’m starting to feel like that right now) an availability of IBM Lotus Symphony for the Mac. That, too is HUGE news!

I’m SOOOO glad to see these announcements and it really makes me think that IBM/Lotus is way more on the right track then I’ve given them credit for. I sincerely hope they do a great job with these announcements AND follow up with some solid software AND tell the world about all of it so everyone knows that Lotus products are very much alive and groundbreaking.
