This Friday I’ll be presenting on our goal-based data-driven design methods at Dr. Dobb’s Architecture and Design World 2007 in Chicago. If you’re around, stop by. And if you’re not, well, I’ll be recording it so you can hear the podcast later.

UK based company Synchronica gives corporations the ability to use enterprise email systems from Microsoft, Lotus, and Sun with the new iPhone.
From the MacWorld article:
The software talks directly with the iPhone’s IMAP/SMTP mail client, and then connects securely to corporate e-mail servers: Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Domino, as well as Sun Java Enterprise System. In the case of Exchange, Mobile Gateway uses Microsoft’s secure Outlook Web Access to retrieve e-mail from the Exchange server. The e-mail is then sent to the iPhone client via IMAP.
[...]
“If I delete a spam [message] on my iPhone, it is deleted in Exchange,” Brinkshulte says. “If I send an e-mail from the iPhone and then come back to office, it is shown in the ‘sent-items’ folder of my Outlook/Exchange [screen]. There’s no need of ‘copy to self’ workarounds.”
Earlier this week, I was conducting an interview for my prototyping book with Jed Wood. During our conversation, we discussed the typical reasons for prototyping:
And then Jed highlighted a third, and probably the most useful reason for prototyping: as a method for working through a design. Jed sees prototyping as a way to work through a design the same way a product designer uses sketching to work through product designs.
Thanks to Jed for that little insight.
