With IBM's release today of IBM Connections for Android (free on Android Market) we finally have a client app for Android. After a quick config to the Greenhouse environment (https://greenhouse.lotus.com/mobile) it appear to be a pretty full function client (if a bit slow).

 

Bookmarks have alwas been one of my favorite features and I appreciate the mobile support that includes sharing (notify) complete with name lookup, add to community, etc..

 

One glaring integration issue is that it doesn't apear to support adding bookmark from the mobile browsers. I tried with both the built in browser and Firefox. Both have a feature where you can "Share" a page that seems to pull up a list of registered applications (Bluetooth, Dropbox, Evernote, Facebook, Gmail, Mail/Traveler, Messaging, gReader, TweetCaster, ... you get the idea). Shouldn't IBM Connections Bookmarks be in this registered list??? I for one won't be copying URLs and launching a separte client to share them.

 

I look forward to exploring the rest of the features in this new client. Keep up the great work IBM!
