IBM brings Lotus to mobile devices
Software giant IBM said this week that it has introduced a version of its Lotus Expeditor platform for mobile phones.
Based on the Eclipse embedded Rich Client Platform (eRCP) application model, which allows applications to span desktop and mobile environments, version 6.1.2 of Lotus Expeditor enables mobile application developers to create applications and services that combine information from different sources.
US carrier Sprint is one of the first to sign up for the platform, providing the application developer community with a beta version of a new software platform named Titan. The platform allows developers to move business applications using the Eclipse development framework from the desktop to most Windows Mobile 6 smartphones from Sprint.
"People want to be productive anywhere, anytime," said Alistair Rennie, vice president of development at IBM Lotus Software. "IBM Lotus Expeditor enables faster delivery of a new generation of Web 2.0 applications to mobile phones. Already supporting Lotus Notes and Lotus Sametime, Expeditor has a proven track record as a platform for innovative applications."
