About 2 months ago I got an iPhone, and have been testing the new DWA Ultralite mode on it, now that it is in Public Beta I can talk about it a little here. I would include screen shots, but as of now I have not found a way to take a screen shot of an iPhone with out first jail breaking it, something I really don’t feel like undertaking right now. (any suggestions for this let me know please) First off, my general impressions of the iPhone, the interface is incredible, especially the web browser, and viewing photos on it, the camera is even pretty decent in good lighting conditions, My only real complaint is I find it a little difficult to type on, though as I slowly train myself to let it complete words for me it is getting a little easier. In Domino 8.0 DWA came in two flavors, Full and Lite, in Domino 8.5 a third option was added DWA Ultralite, which is specifically defined for the iPhone, to use it you will need your mail template upgraded to the mail85 template. The design is intended to mimic the look and feel of native iPhone applications and it does a pretty good job allowing access to e-mail, calendar, and contacts (if they are synched to the mail file). The load time is quick, and navigation has been made pretty easy. Now for the best part, the DWA redirector template which ships with notes has been updated to include a section for Mobile devices, the default configuration allows you to use one URL which when accessed from a browser will redirect the user to DWA Full or Lite, but the same URL when accessed from an iPhone will redirect straight to Ultralite, so I have one URL that I can use to access my mail regardless of which mode I want it to be in. If you have not played with the redirector, you can create if off the Template as pictured below (and before he comments my friend Chris The configuration of the redirector is the same as in previous versions, with the addition of the Mobile section which comes pre-populated for the iPod and iPhone as seen here. You can add other devices in as well, though I have not tried it on any others yet.
I know I would prefer to see Traveler support for the iPhone, and I suspect down the road it will happen, but until it does, this is a decent start for Notes support on the iPhone. Want to try it yourself? Head over and download the Notes/Domino 8.5 Beta
I did find one big issue and that was the DWA UltraLite’s ability to change the viewport from horizontal to vertical. When you have a ‘wide’ email open and you switch then it doesn;t resize the headers.
BTW, if you signup for the free iPhone SDK from Apple and your running on a mac you can use it to grab screenshots.
For easy jailbreaking, unlocking etc. use { Link }
I, um, know a guy, um who has a jailbroken, unlocked iphone on T-mobile, and um, ziphone is what he used.
Have fun!
