Lotus Notes for the iPhone ?

The Associated Press reports that IBM will be releasing a version of its free Lotus Symphony office suite that is compatible with Macs, along with a version of Lotus Notes for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Lotus Notes is a free productivity suite consisting of a word processor, spreadsheet application, and presentation application, currently in beta for Windows and Linux. It is based on the Open Document Format (ODF) standard which has been rising in popularity recently.

Meanwhile, iPhone/iPod Touch version of Lotus Notes promises to increase the devices' appeal to the corporate market. While details of how Notes will be implemented on the iPhone were not described, the article does state that Apple and IBM have been working together despite the release of an SDK. Note, there have been indications that some may have had early access to the iPhone's SDK.

The releases are reportedly part of a new partnership between Apple and IBM. Apple once used IBM's PowerPC processors, however software collaboration breaks relatively new ground for the two companies. IBM says that IBM's search for Microsoft alternatives has brought them together.
Let's hope this rumor becomes real :o)

JAJAH iPhone Web Application 2.0 Released

JAJAH iPhone Web Application 2.0 Released

All the iPhone fans can use the JAJAH iPhone Web applicaton 2.0 which also supports the Apple iPod touch. The app comes with the known look&feel of the iPhone's dial pad and address book enabling users to make low-cost global calling directly from their Apple iPhone and iPod touch.

How it works

You simply point your mobile Safari browser to http://iphone.jajah.com and dial the number you want to call. Alternatively you can select the name in your JAJAH contacts and click on the number you want to call. JAJAH will call your phone, you pick up, and you will be connected to the desired international number. You can call any phone anywhere in the world (landline or mobile) without the need of an international calling plan.

As the iPod touch is not meant to be a phone and missing the microphone this app can still initiate a call to your regular cell phone or land line nearby.

In any way, try it out, register here

Google on-the-go

Google Mobile

Google's developed an iPhone-friendly version of their Google Calendar, allowing you to add, view, but not edit or delete events from your phone.

You could get this kind of functionality by syncing GCal to Calendar or Outlook and then syncing to your iPhone, allowing you to add, edit, and even delete events. But if you're out of office for some time, you might miss the syncing for a few days and this friendly interface is really great - and FAST !

Go and see at www.google.com/m from your Safari !

Uploading my DVD movies into the iPhone

I've tested many DVD converters, I even bought a few licenses before I found the link to the freeware HandBrake. It is great application with many features, supporting all kinds of video files and formats.

When using the iPhone, I experienced the best option is to use the MPEG4 format, 480 x 320 pixels scale. I am not using the template for the iPods, because it is making a limit of approx. 25 minutes length for the output video file.

It supports Linux, Mac and Windows too.

You can download HandBrake here !
