Lotusphere Online goes live

by Volker Weber

Good news: IBM is making a reasonable effort to provide mobile access to the site. Go to www.lsonline.info/m and log in. You need your mail address as username and your confirmation number as password. I have not yet found a way to change the password.

There is also a session database for the BlackBerry at connect.lsonline.info/agenda.jad and an exhibitor reference. Both can be installed without any artificial obstacles. Well done. Unfortunately the app uses its own fonts instead of just defaulting to what the user has preset for his device:

ls10online1

ls10online2

This makes it a little bit hard to read. The app follows the "let's create a bunch of views and don't bother with search" design pattern:

ls10online3

The mobile site suffers from the same pattern and is a little bit hard to get into because of the dysfunctional login screen:

ls10online4

ls10online6

The iPhone app provided by The Turtle Partnership is way more useful, if only for its full text search. There isn't really anything in the IBM BlackBerry App that you could not do better with the little booklet provided in your batch holder.

And no "add to calendar on the BB app?"
