IBM Lotus Expeditor 6.1.2 Brings Web 2.0 to Mobile Phones

IBM announced that the Lotus Expeditor software platform is extending desktop computing and Web 2.0 capabilities to mobile phones. Mobile phone users will be able to run several desktop-style applications like social networking, mashups and other consumer or business applications simultaneously on a variety of mobile phones. The new version of IBM Lotus Expeditor 6.1.2 software enables mobile application developers to create new applications and services that combine information from different sources. Key to Lotus Expeditor technology is the use of the Eclipse embedded Rich Client Platform (eRCP) application model, which allows applications to be created to span desktop and mobile devices. Lotus Expeditor software also allows people to receive software updates to their mobile phones without disruption. For example, they can receive an update to a business application while continuing to do instant messaging. Lotus Expeditor software is the underlying platform for IBM's collaboration products including IBM Lotus Notes e-mail, Lotus Sametime instant messaging and Lotus Symphony, a no-charge suite of open standards based office productivity software programs. http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus
