Chiming in on iPhone
Echoing sentiments heard numerous places today, what's the deal with the deadly silence from IBM surrounding today's iPhone announcements??
I am among many, many people who opted NOT to purchase the original iPhone because of the crummy network connectivity. Particularly for a phone that is built to do internet work, being tethered to such a slow network would be painful.
In the meantime, however, I'd see the same screenshots, etc., that many of you did at Lotusphere - and wonder why things were so quiet today.
Ed Brill sheds a little light on the subject in a blog post today. Internally, a certain well-know Lotus tipster suggested signing an electronic petition.
But, nothing official at all ...
Do know that Shawne Robinson was hinting nearly six months ago that iPhone was a likely candidate for the next supported platform for Traveler ... THAT would be kind of sweet!
I have no inside scoop to share (unfortunately) ... but I'll try to rattle Shawne's cage and see what I can find out ...

PS: Video of Steve Job's keynote is available.
PPS: Despite lower device cost, NY Times reports data charges make new iPhone MORE expensive.
