Talk to Teamstudio. Their unplugged stuff is pretty impressive.

2Michael Kobrowski  9/13/2011 1:42:19 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

I agree with Paul.

But I also think Notes have to have apps on all platforms. Maybe they should license Teamstudio. Maybe have a light client. Just to say "learn XPages and use traveler" isn't enough IMHO.

3Henning Heinz  9/13/2011 2:05:40 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

No. If only XPages is moving forward there is no need for a client because the client will more or less do the same than what can be achieved in a (tablet) browser.

4John Foldager  9/13/2011 2:20:11 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

No! Agree with Henning.

Right now it would be great to have, but it would be even greater if IBM Lotus was to push XPages even further... and faster

5Tim Tripcony  9/13/2011 2:58:54 PM  No

The moment a viable solution exists for secure, offline access to an XPage, there is no need for a native client... on any platform or device.

6Mark  9/13/2011 3:17:36 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

Yep definitely

7Siggi Meyer  9/13/2011 3:32:50 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

Yes, many reasons. At this stage a client can provide technologies that a browser will never be able to deliver. Why do we want to limit Notes to Browser Technologies ? If we want Notes to stay ahead of the pack, we need to be able to deliver more than our competitors on browsers.

8Richard Schwartz  9/13/2011 5:02:43 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

I think you are really drawing the wrong conclusion when you say "The absence clearly stemmed from the fact that Apple’s mobile devices do not support Java applications. "

This is not clear at all! Android is a Java platform. There's no Notes client on Android, nor is there likely to be one.

The Notes client did not "move to Java". It was put inside a Java wrapper. All of the core is still written in C, and that's not going to change. Not any time soon, anyhow.

Now, all of this is irrelevant to the question of whether people want a Notes client for iPad. I'm sure many people would. I'm equally sure, however, that many people would be perfectly happy with technology that allows individual apps to be published from Domino servers onto their iPad, without all the overhead of a Notes client -- and they don't care whether those apps are going to be xPages or something else. What value would a full client bring? Replication of NSF files, and the ability to cut and paste doclinks, and... is thre anything else?

9Harald Gaerttner  9/13/2011 5:14:24 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

No, Traveler is great and Xpages the way to go for everything else!

10Hans Mäder  9/13/2011 5:16:00 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

Yes. I'd like a Notes Client for iDevices.

11Erik Brooks  9/13/2011 6:01:59 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

Tim @5 nails it.

12Mike Brown  9/13/2011 6:11:03 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

I think Rich Schwartz is on a good point! What would the purpose of a client be, and could any tablet device really accommmodate such a client? What about the NSFs?

13Chris Hudson  9/13/2011 11:10:07 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

We are trialling using the VM View Client for IPad that gives us fully secured remote access to our desktop, which includes the full Notes Rich client. So far it looks promising.

14Christian Tillmanns  9/14/2011 1:32:04 AM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

Yes.

I am using my iPad for travelling but the CRM I use isn't working correctly in Safari. I'd rather had a real client.

15Simon O’Doherty  9/14/2011 6:00:12 AM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

My personal opinion (not IBMs).

As I understand it the Apples terms on the Appstore would prevent the notes client from being sold.

Same reason the C64 emulator wasn't allowed on the appstore.

16John Lindsay  9/14/2011 6:03:47 AM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

Yes - for no other reason than I'd like to have one. Not all of us use X-Pages and as Christian says traditional apps don't always work that great in the safari browser.

Having said that though I can't see it happening - I understand that there is far more demand for Designer on a Mac and there is no sign of that ever happening. :-)

17Patrick Sawyer  9/14/2011 7:20:06 AM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

I have found one of the great things about Domino is the ease of connecting to applications, even when offsite. This makes deployment as "rapid" as the development. This fact should not be overlooked.

Have Traveler provide a similar MDS-type solution for Domino, where a Traveler enabled device could have access to internally facing Domino resources.

Not to say that the client is dead, but it is not the right direction to go for tablet/mobile devices. xPages is the preferred direction for tablets/mobile devices.

18Peter Meuser  9/14/2011 2:20:15 PM  I am voting for world peace

I am voting for world peace...

This wish may come true as probably as a Notes client for the iPad or any other further development of the classical Notes client platform.

19Stephen Hogan  9/16/2011 5:34:58 AM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

Um, aren't we all forgetting about iNotes here?

20Gunter Friedmann  9/25/2011 8:32:06 AM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

Yes, it would be great to have a full (or light) Lotus Notes client on the iPad, the iPhone is a little bit small screen, but with the right Notes app this will work also fine.

21Giovanni Miraglia  10/11/2011 6:25:31 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

Yes, Notes Client for IPAD would bring a real advantage in our daily business!

22Jeff Weesner  11/20/2014 8:00:56 PM  Would you want a Notes Client for the Ipad?

Yes, looking to make all our applications browser based because mobile is not microsoft centric.
