iPad - meet Lotus Notes
Category iPad
Today the UPS guy delivered for me my very own iPad. And to think I came really close to canceling several weeks ago.
After the unboxing and mandatory sync to iTunes it was up and running fine. The first thing I did was to get my Lotus Notes Email on it. It works great on the iPhone so why not the iPad?
In Safari I went to my Lotus Traveler URL which I think it typically:
http://domain.com/servlet/traveler
On the iPhone, Traveler is able to auto-detect your device. However, since the iPad is so new this didn't happen and I had to manually choose Apple and then "iPhone". No biggie at all.
Once I did that I basically filled in the same screens that I did for the iPhone setup and done!
My Notes Email came right down and I was about to read and send immediately. Oh yeah, it was "pretty" as well.
My only other impressions until I lost use of this device to my kids to play some of the games I had bought from iTunes....
It's FAST!
It's Beautiful!
The apps that I've seen so far - USAToday, Some Bird Identification App, Flight Control, all seem great. Netflix instant streaming came right down... Google Maps was cool.
I'm looking forward to working with KeyNote and seeing if I can use that to produce the slides that I use for Notes In 9. Shouldn't be a problem really.
The Keyboard seemed pretty good to type on but I've not used it a lot yet.
Already my wife and Mother In Law are lusting after it.
This makes me even more excited to go to the SNAPPS iPhone eventand attempt to get into actually creating apps for this device! Can't wait!

I'll be publishing some images and maybe even a Notes in 9 screencast on this very soon.
Curt - I don't know if it's "Magical". I like to say that with an iPhone I could go on a trip with no laptop and be fine for 3-4 days. With iPad I could now be fine for 10-14 days probably.... I can't program on it but I can create more content easier.
Theo - Sorry about the wait my friend!
Patrick - It comes with "Winnie the Pooh" which is very readible. I've not messed with PDF's yet...

Yes - I'm getting my email from Traveler on both my iPhone and iPad. The iPad always beeps first and 1 second later the iPhone.
Works great. Nothing special needed at all.

All I did was navigate to my traveler site. I had previously setup my iPhone.
In this case it didn't recognize the iPad - it was too new. So I simply selected apple iphone as the device and followed the screens and it's working fine.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you for helping,

I'm not sure what your seeing. I've not seen the bootstrap portion before. I've always just gone to domain.com/servlet/traveler.
Can you send me a screenshot? Do you Already have your device configured for exchange or something? Currently there can only be one server per device....
