Well done to Rob, Julian and all the team at SNAPPS - this brings together the best team collaboration solution out there with the hottest mobile devices. As an iPhone user for 18 months or so, I've been longing for IBM to develop some native applications for Quickr and Connections. SNAPPS have stepped into the breach...
Last night, amidst the buzz in Cupertino about the launch of the iPad, we at SNAPPS quietly got an email notification that the fruits of Julian's labor for the past few months, SnappFilesTM, is now available for sale on the Apple app store. "Sale" is a bit of a misnomer, since like many of our other "SNAPPS Labs" efforts, the inaugural version of SnappFiles is free. Yep, free. Can't think of a better price.
So what is SnappFiles? It's fairly easy to grok. Start it up, point it to a Lotus Quickr server (Domino or J2EE), and browse for your files. If there's a viewer, open and read them on the device. Or, send a link to the page and file to anyone with one click. That's it. Pretty easy, huh?
Here are a few screenshots. Because it's a native app (vs. a browser app, which Julian also developed when he was getting started), it looks amazing, flows very smoothly, is very responsive, and follows all the Apple human interface standards. It's really slick, works great with PDFs, Office docs, images and anything else with a viewer. It even works with several of the Quickr Templates including QPhotos.
And, it will work straight away on the iPad when it's released. In fact, I think it will be a killer app for iPad in business - ECM integration - as the format is so good for reading documents.

1) This is great - can’t wait to try it.
We are running a pilot quicker project and one of the team members is very mobile and uses an iPhone. Since the new BB client only works with the WS flavor (we use domino services), this gives another option for mobile users. So the iPhone trumps the BB for business use this time around.
