Just on the heels of the Lotus Sametime for iOS / Android release comes the release of Microsoft Lync for iPad and iPhone that is a chat client for Microsofts on-premises and cloud based chat solution. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft too is using push-notifications for out-of-app chat notification to save on battery. One of the nice things about the announcement is to see how Microsoft chose to have their mobile solution work with their cloud based offering right away – something Lotus has failed to do with Sametime on LotusLive (still looking for an announcement as to when LotusLive will support the iOS apps).

We have have tested it with Office365 for a couple of days. And it is not so stable yet, I have to say.
What you realy miss in this solution is that you can not see if the other party is starting to type his response. This is a big loss for Microsoft and a big advantage for IBM
However I agree, LotusLive Sametime shoudl be upgrade very soon, in my opion the highest priority for the LotusLive team. And it should not take a lot of time I think.
