Whether the next generation of the iPhone will eventually support a second enterprise-class email application to Microsoft Exchange--<A HREF="http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,143440-pg,1/article.html">namely Lotus Notes</A>--remains a mystery.
IBM spokesman Mike Azzi said IBM Lotus Notes developers will be working on a Notes email application for iPhone 2.0, but he did not elaborate and could not be reached for further comment.
Apple officials would not comment on Notes for the iPhone either, but released a statement saying that 100,000 developers had downloaded the beta SDK (software development kit) for the iPhone in the first four days since its release. Several developers are named, but there is no mention of Lotus Notes.
