News from the RIM Wireless Enterprise Symposium in Orlando:

"IBM Lotus software on the BlackBerry platform redefines what it means to be 'at work,'" said Bob Picciano, general manager, IBM Lotus Software. "BlackBerry smartphone customers will have access to a suite of Lotus applications, including personal productivity, real-time collaboration and social software tools that can help them work smarter on the go."

...

The next generation BlackBerry Client for Lotus Connections, developed by RIM and available May 8, will meet a need in corporate human resources to help manage an increasingly mobile workforce through social networks with blogs, activities, communities and tag clouds. Now, employees can form communities adding new contacts at conferences and other meetings while inventorying skills and expertise in the process. In addition, tag clouds help drill down through information on a myriad of contacts to the core expertise being sought locally or globally, wherever the customer may be.

I really rate the current Connections client for Blackberry, but Connections has moved on a long way since that version was released, so I'm looking forward to seeing what RIM&IBM have done in this new release, particularly with Connections 2.5 and the mobile interface just around the corner...
