Using Sametime Mobile? Avoid iOS 8 for Now

Bill Malchisky  September 16 2014 04:36:15 AM

IBM released a Technote yesterday on the issues with their Sametime Mobile applications on iPhones and iPads running iOS 8 -- due for release on Wednesday, 17 September 2014. My friends Gabriella Davis and Matteo Bisi both blogged on the Technote. Beyond that, there exists a post on The Sametime Blog offering a behind-the-scenes look as to the challenges therein, written by the on-premises Sametime Product Manager - Marlon Machado. In meeting Marlon previously, I can tell you he is a good guy and I appreciate his candor in getting ahead of this, which allows customers to plan and avoid internal help desk calls. I dislike telling customers that they have to wait to upgrade their Apple mobile devices, but if your users want to run Sametime, then you need to tell them now: wait.

Here is Marlon's post, via The Sametime Blog entitled, "About IBM Sametime Mobile Apps and iOS8".
