IBM Lotus Notes and Domino to Push Email to iPhone
Macworld is reporting that Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5.1 will finally get IBM off of their current WebMail solution (see video above) and onto real support for real push email to the iPhone:
Early last year, Apple licensed ActiveSync so that businesses could push their corporate Exchange e-mail messages to iPhones. Since the ActiveSync client is already embedded in the iPhone, adding ActiveSync to the Traveler product was a good way to enable push Notes e-mail to the iPhone, [Ed Brill, director of end-user messaging and collaboration for IBM Lotus software] said.
Good on IBM.
We only have one question — hey, Google, if they above is true and ActiveSync client is just sitting there waiting, where’s our push Gmail?
(Apologies to IBM for the tangent).

I know I see an iPhone but that video makes me feel like I’m watching an educational school film from the 80′s
I suspect it’s only a matter of time before Google adds Gmail into the Google Sync offering. That’s Activesync based, but right now it only pushes Calendar and Contacts (albeit Gmail integrated contacts).
Once things are a little more stable, I have no doubt that push gmail will be offered.
Cool… but apparently they use an old version of the OS, look where Safari’s magnifying glass is located. LOL
To Pierluigi. That’s was an old video they will now push email natively to the iPhone through the mail app
Gmail push is long overdue!
@Kevin
I wasn’t aware of. Thanks.
But the video’s “Lotus iNotes Ultralight” was vaporware – it never showed up in the App Store.
Or was it for jailbreak only?
Bruce, inotes ultra lite is part of the mail template. Just open your mail with your safari browser on the iphone. Domino 8.01 or better.
Gmail push exists for over a few months now. Granted only for Calendar and Contacts.
