iPhone users to get Lotus Notes

IBM cosies up to Apple

Written by Guy Dixon

IBM's Lotus Notes will soon be available on Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch, according to reports in Associated Press.

An official announcement is expected at IBM's Lotusphere 2008 conference in Orlando this week.

The software, which requires use of IBM's Domino email server, will offer iPhone users access to standard Notes tools, including email, calendar and databases.

Users with a Lotus web-access licence will get the software for free, while pricing for new users will start at $39 per year.

iPhone users can already connect to web-based email services such as Google's Gmail, as well as corporate email sent over Microsoft Exchange.

IBM claims 135 million Lotus Notes users worldwide.
