I just got off the phone with an IBM press representative at the Lotusphere show in Orlando, Florida and he was able to confirm for me that IBM has been showing vendors and partners technologies which will optimize IBM technologies for Apple products. While he was unable to go into greater detail, its clear that IBM is working on some kind of Lotus-related products for Apple. Whether that’s actually the iPhone or just a Leopard-tweaked Lotus Notes 8.0.1 client for Mac OS X is unknown at this time. He was able to confirm that IBM isn’t done making announcements just yet, either. More details to come.
