Living with an iPhone in a Lotus Notes world got significantly easier for me today.
I spotted a Twitter post from Dr. Brill* saying he was reading about this iPhone app. No more than 10 minutes later, it earned a coveted spot on the first menu screen on my iPhone. In short, the app allows you to search your company’s name and address book (domino directory) and retrieve listings for people in your company. Its easy to set up and there’s a “lite” version which allows you to try the app, confirm you can connect (via HTTP or HTTPS) and retrieve someone’s email address — which, by the way, is EXACTLY how the “lite” version of that app should work in order to earn a sale. Well done!
The app even warns you about storing your user name and password on the iPhone (not a requirement, but most people will likely do this out of convenience).
Its a great app! My only suggestion for improvement would be to either allow for names to be retrieved from the address book (like a mass download on launch, with a periodic update every x-days/hours) and/or the ability to store records I’ve searched for already. — Even without that, its a handy app!
