A large number of Tech companies use Lotus Notes. Hell IBM alone has over 350 thousand employees. And by ignoring Lotus Notes, you’re losing all those potential customers.

More than half of the top Fortune 100 companies use Lotus Notes. I was thinking of getting a Pre but I also require Lotus Notes support. CompanionLink doesn’t do email.

O&A blow, that is why they got dropped from pretty much every terrestrial radio station. Sirius/XM needs to follow suit. They are just wannabe hacks.

Stern is the man, even palm is listening to the VOICE of radio.

There are a lot of companies still using Lotus Notes. Obviously you don’t work for one of them.

Lotus notes stinks, just like Stern.

I’m pretty sure it’s about time they both go away.

yeah, I remember Stern on K-Rock always screaming at bababooey about updating the Lotus Notes.

Agree with Bob though, given that O&A have been using video chat software (paltalk), twitter, myspace, facebook, you’d think they’d go there.

Of course little jimmy would sh*t all over it since he hates all of his phones.

Why does Palm want to market a smart phone to elderly, technophobic senior citizens anyway? If they want to appeal to the younger more tech savvy crowd they should offer them to Opie and Anthony

Michael you’re absolutely right, Palm should have known about this and made sure the companionlink app was ready for Stern’s use. Although, I’d say, there aren’t many smartphone buyers buying smartphones for their connectivity to Lotus Notes. I mean come on, when’s the last time you knew someone personally on Lotus Notes at their company(the last I can think of, was about 10 years ago).

Stern HAS used Lotus Notes for years. It does not take a techo-geek to be on Lotus Notes if your company uses it. Palm did not do their homework and paid the price for the public rejection.

You left out… “Stern did say the Pre was a nice device.” Also, that Palm Rep should be fired, last week CompanionLink was announced for the Pre, Lotus Notes can be accessed through CompanionLInk.

palm SHOULD have known that stern uses lotus notes, he’s been on it forever and regularly talks about it. he specifically stated that lotus notes compatibility is critical for his choice of phone.
