This capability will extend Lotus Domino¹s automatic synching capabilities for e-mail and calendaring tools to the Apple iPhone.

Applicable's Chief Technology Officer, Mark Ward commented that the availability of active sync in 8.51 opens up the iPhone to the Domino market in a way which is more comparable to the use of other smart phones and email.

Although email functionality for Domino using the inotes ultralite interface has been available for some time its not been a great experience and has been seen by the community as a stop gap until this significant milestone.
 
IBM Lotus Notes Traveler software enables wireless push replication of Lotus Notes e-mail, calendaring, and personal information management (PIM) data on many smart phones, including iPhone.
 
IBM designed Lotus Notes 8.5.1 with agile development practices using social media such as blogs and Twitter to collect and make hundreds of refinements suggested by people who want to work smarter. They include enhancements to the way people edit messages; work with widgets and calendars, and new options for customizing search. These enhancements allow people to work smarter by spending more time on finding, creating and sharing valuable information and less time modifying the way that it is presented.
 
In addition the Lotus Symphony document, spreadsheet, and presentation software is also available, and brings IBM XPages developer technology to the Lotus Notes client for off-line use.
 
In recent months, leading mobile device producers Nokia and Samsung announced support for IBM Lotus Notes Traveler software enabling more than a billion smart phone customers around the world to manage their Lotus Notes e-mail, calendars and address books anytime, anywhere. In addition, IBM has announced engagement with many wireless carriers in order to drive towards meeting the needs of an increasing wireless workforce. IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5.1 will be required to support this capability.
