Lync Mobile Update

Just a quick update for everyone:

Finally the iPad and iPhone are fully available within the Apple App store

Anyone seen the Symbian client?

Microsoft Android App now available in the Android Marketplace from here

Microsoft Windows Phone App now available in the Windows Phone Marketplace here

It is worth noting the first warning on the application download that you do need either an On Premise Lync installation with an Edge Server or Office 365 to take adavantage of the mobile clients.

The On Premise Lync pre-requisites will require some effort and skill set to enable. Although there is a wizard, it is misleading, you simply can’t run the wizard and be ready to install. There are other tasks to complete, I’m certainly not skilled enough top explain what these tasks are but a search of twitter on the #lync hashtag will bring up plenty of helpful blog posts.

Office365 also require some changes in the admin panel – the addition of Cnames for lyncdiscover is an example, be sure the read the documentation.
