Day 2 - Real Time Collab Seminar and Sametime Mobile bug/enhancement
Tags :Sametime Mobile Sametime Blackberry
A couple quick surprises. One, most everyone in the room did not run Lotus Domino on Windows. Instead it was iSeries, Linux and even some Solaris. Interesting twist. The second part is they really got the infrastructure session and asked some great follow-up questions about scaling a Sametime architecture for each of their needs.
Now the Sametime Mobile client has something missing I had not noted before. The Blackberry Enterprise Messenger service, that hooks into Sametime works quite well and is being enhanced even more. The one thing it does do that the Sametime Mobile developers looked over is that if I am not in the actual chat, and lets say the device is in my holster. The Welcome Screen has no indicator at the top that there is a pending chat. Yes you would get the vibration, and if it was the last thing received it would go right into that chat. But, if you get email behind a chat, for example, and let the Blackberry sit, there is no visual indicator a chat came in unless you check yourself. Theirs, of course, shows that indicator. Just one of those things that users demand.
