Last week someone suggested something really simple while we were at an off-site meeting (at a WiFi challenged location): “go open that file on Quickr from your iPhone.”

I have to admit, I hadn’t thought to do that before.

Oddly enough… it works pretty well! The iPhone’s ability to size your browser screen allows you to easily navigate around Quickr’s web interface. The iPhone’s ability to open just about any file type your office uses means that you can drill down to a file, open it, get the info you need and move on (here’s a YouTube video of someone doing exactly that). – How handy!

Of course, as I type this, I’m thinking it would be awesome to have an ultralite mode, but that’s sitting down a ways on my Top 10 list of things I wish Lotus had for the iPhone. ;-)

Which reminds me… an email showed up this morning from a person within Lotus (who asked to not be named beyond that) who said I should have looked more closely at the Lotus.com page regarding iPhone/iNotes functionality. My last post mentioned the inability to create calendar entries, and as this emailer mentioned, Lotus was careful to use the words “create” and “view” in a precise manner. As you can see, calendar items are mentioned only as “view” not “create.” As he jokingly wrapped up: “you need to read carefully so as not to get your hopes up.”
