Comment on NitroDesk Touchdown to Officially Support Lotus Traveler (Kindle Fire Owners Take Note) by Philip Harrison

Hi Mitch,

Email/contacts sync of Notes to TouchDown worked well before, but there were a number of issues with the calendar, particularly with meeting invites. These are all sorted in the latest TouchDown beta so I guess they now feel they may as well have official support…

As for why you might want to use TouchDown over the IBM client; the main reason we see customers using it is the integration TouchDown have done with various MDM platforms (MobileIron which we sell for instance, but also others). Your MDM platform can perform selective wipes (wipe business contacts, calendar & email only) of your Android device, configure email settings over-the-air, enforce encryption of the app, ensure the user has a passcode set on the app or their device etc. These controls are really the bare minimum a business needs to control a large fleet of smartphones, particularly if there is a mix of Andoird and iOS devices. TouchDown being a pure ActiveSync client also means it works well with most ActiveSync reverse proxies.

Interesting idea, sounds like something you could possibly do with the API, read and parse a bookmark feed and post to blog when the criteria were met. Couple of people who may have ideas around this would be Luis Benitez, or David Hay

Hi Mitch. I’m looking for auto feed to connections blog postings driven by connections bookmarks. In other words, I tell my blog to monitor new bookmarks by me, or by you, or by tags “connections, social-biz, etc” and when a new bookmark fits that criteria, the feed stream creates the content for a new blog post without my intervention.

Any ideas?

You’re definitely the organ-transplant guy. As I normally don’t attend SuperBowl parties, I’m not sure I fit into any of those.

Comment on Using WhatsApp Messenger with a Google Voice Number by Chris Whisonant

Juergen, it worked seamlessly for me on iOS when I installed WhatsApp last month. I entered my GV#, got my notification of the 3 digit code, put it into WhatsApp, and had no problems or timeouts.
