"It's obvious that Lotus has placed considerable emphasis on the performance of its clients by moving memory and resource intensive tasks to the background. In fact, this new release contradicts the rumor that Lotus planned to abandon the Notes clients in favor of a Web-based application, and there are many added features," says this product review.

Analysts said giving developers educational tools is one of the key ways to drive success of wireless in the United States. IBM expects some users to use the site to map out a plan for their company's wireless push, knowing what areas are hot and where gaps with the technology have been left unfilled. SOURCE: IDG News http://idg.net/ic_528223_1773_1-3921.html [2] "RIM Model 957 (BlackBerry 5MB)" RIM's BlackBerry wireless e-mail devices have become widely popular among business users because they offer a simple and efficient way to send and receive e-mail on the go from virtually anywhere in the United States. "The RIM 957 may not be the ultimate PDA, but it is a solid wireless e-mail device for corporate users. However, it comes at a price," says this product review. SOURCE: ZDNet http://www.zdnet.com/products/stories/reviews/0,4161,2714232,00.html [3] "Motorola Timeport P935 (PIC)" The Timeport P935, Motorola's latest wireless e-mail device, is similar to its prime competitor, the RIM 957 BlackBerry. Like the RIM 957, the P935 has full functionality with links to popular desktop PIMs, including Outlook, Act, and Lotus Organizer, as well as robust e-mail capabilities. "And while it falls short of the RIM 957 in some areas, it does have a few advantages," says this product review. SOURCE: ZDNet http://www.zdnet.com/products/stories/reviews/0,4161,2714228,00.html [4] "RIM to give BlackBerry a voice" In Europe, the BlackBerry will run on the voice network known as Global System for Mobile Communications. As a result, adding the ability to make cell phone calls will be as simple as offering a software download and plugging in an earphone similar to the hands-free attachments for cell phones. RIM is counting on its European effort, as well as an effort to make all BlackBerry pagers compatible with Lotus Notes, to help the company keep growing despite decreased technology spending.

The consultants predicted the battle between the two biggest players, Microsoft and AOL, will come to a climax by 2003. The study analyzed other competitors, including Yahoo, Jabber.com, Lotus and Novell. But because AOL and Microsoft control 85 to 90% of the market between them, the others are relatively insignificant, Gartner said.
