We also got to discuss a few "future directions" sort of things. Talking points included:

• Do we have any numbers yet on how many companies have upgraded to Notes 8 so far? How about customer references?
• Is Lotus comfortable with the 8.0.2 startup speed and smaller memory footprint, or will it continue to improve?
• What's the big deal about the new INI parameter that controls whether the client opens in Basic or Standard mode?
• Are the Symphony editors in the Notes 8 Standard client simply "nice to have", or is IBM aggressively pushing the Symphony product?
• Is there better integration coming between Notes and Connections, especially as it relates to Activities?
• Can we confirm or deny William Shatner as the opening session speaker at Lotusphere?

And certainly, much much more. Also be sure to check out Dwight Morse speaking about Notes 8 on the Ziff Davis Innovations podcast.

In the podcast, we talk about not only what the motivation was behind the merger (because they're both GROWING their business, not because they're struggling), but also a little about the state of the Domino consulting market in the UK (very positive).

We then go on to talk a bit about the recent Admin/Developer 2007 View conference in Barcelona where Paul, Warren, and Julian were among the cast of speakers, and also about upcoming Lotusphere 2008 where all of us (including Bruce) are doing sessions. ]]> http://takingnotespodcast.com/blogs/takingnotes.nsf/dxcomments/TakingNotesEpisode71.htm http://takingnotespodcast.com/blogs/takingnotes.nsf/dx/TakingNotesEpisode71.htm?opendocument&comments Wed, 14 Nov 2007 00:01:00 -0400 http://takingnotespodcast.com/blogs/takingnotes.nsf/dx/TakingNotesEpisode70.htm IBM People Julian Robichaux http://takingnotespodcast.com/blogs/takingnotes.nsf/dx/TakingNotesEpisode70.htm?opendocument&comments http://takingnotespodcast.com/blogs/takingnotes.nsf/dx/TakingNotesEpisode70.htm Sandra "Queen of Lotusphere" Marcus tells us all about what to expect at Lotusphere 2008 -- only 2 months away!

Traveler will be available with the Notes/Domino 8.0.1 release (scheduled for Q1 2008), and it allows real-time replication between Domino mail and Windows Mobile devices. Topics of discussion include:

• Is this a separate client or does it work in conjunction with the native mail apps on Windows Mobile?
• Is it push, pull, or some sort of hybrid?
• How does the administration work on the Domino side? (HINT: it's a Domino server add-in, and one of the supported configurations will allow you to access mail files on Domino 7 servers)
• Security and encryption (128-bit encryption out-of-the-box, with an option to use Lotus Mobile Connect for even more secure connections)

Also, Shawne said that there should be more information available at Lotusphere in January. You HAVE already purchased your Lotusphere tickets, haven't you?
