Lotus Notes 8.0.2 - Looking Good, Coming Soon

Lotus Notes 8.0.2 offers the following: -

• Significant improvements in launch time, both from a first launch and a subsequent launch
• Changes to the start-up sequence (which contributes to the above)
• Reduction in the overall memory footprint (please note, this does not change our recommended system requirements) -> Lotus Notes 8.0.2 - Detailed system requirements
• Inclusion of Office 2007 file viewers
• iNotes Ultralite - browser-based e-mail specifically designed for the Apple iPhone interface and accessed thru the iPhone or iPod touch's Safari browser
• Performance improvements for Domino running on IBM System i

Also... Lotus Notes 8.5 beta 2 is expected before the end of August - not only does this offer some great new client features and server capabilities, but I'm also seeing a reduction in the memory usage compared to 8.0.1 (and that's with an unofficial daily build).
