With the recent release of IBM's flagship enterprise collaboration software for devices running Android OS, the company has made a statement saying that it sees Android smart phones as being suitable business tools. A beta release of Lotus Notes Traveler, released by Big Blue for Android, was built specifically for the Google Nexus One and Motorola Droid, according to IBM's John Beck. The free software can be downloaded by Lotus Notes users, who are able to sync Lotus Domino mail, calendar, and contacts and view data on devices running Android 2.0+. IBM has said that with 100,000 Android-based devices now being sold weekly, the company has been receiving an overwhelming amount of requests for suitable business software to run on Android. It is obvious that IBM's plan is to expand further into the mobile computing industry when you consider that Lotus Notes Traveler is also available on Nokia Symbian, Windows Mobile, and the Apple iPhone and iPad. IBM has stated that they have no intentions to entering the smartphone market, but instead will continue to develop business oriented software for all devices so people can realize the convenience of using it on their smartphones.
