and from engadget Notes meets iPhone (but you probably know this already)
If you're looking to gain respect for your gear as a serious
business-class tool, there's no better way than to infiltrate those Big
Four accounting firms still using Lotus Notes. According to a piece
carried by the Associated Press,
Lotus Notes eMail is coming to Apple's iPhone and iPod touch. We kid
you not. The announcement is expected as early as Sunday the 20th, the
day IBM's annual Lotusphere conference kicks off in Orlando. The
software is free for those with existing licenses which means IT is
going to have a hell of a time keeping it out of users' hands. If true,
the application would presumably be the first official, third-party app
developed with Apple's new iPhone SDK.
IBM is also expected to announce their free Lotus Symphony flavor of
OpenOffice for the Mac at the same time. An IBM spokesman seemingly
confirmed the announcements by saying that Apple and IBM have, "a lot
in common. We're going to cross-pollinate." Let's just hope they manage
to untangle that jumbled Notes UI for finger-friendly navigation during
the mating ritual, eh?

That genius! I thought about watching the whole thing (for about 2 secs) but couldn't be bothered, so that hit the nail on the head.
And the Air does look nice and shiney :)
