I mentioned it last year in my “How to Use OCS 2007 on Your Mobile” post. Tom works for Modality Systems, which ALSO has a Lync client for iPhone: iDialog.

I couldn’t review Xync and ignore where Tom’s coming from, could I? At its website you’ll find a FAQ, guides and how-to videos.

Xync is available in the Android Market and the iPhone/iPad App Stores for $19.99. Possibly an interface bug, or just a glitch. (You can see the difference in his screenshots.) Commenters also noted that the Xync client crashes on sign-in. But the video on the Lync side doesn’t look so good. He noted one interesting caveat here: When in a video call to a Lync user, the iPad video looks fine. Tom tested sign-in, IM, making calls and adding video. The “Conferencing” link in their FAQ didn’t work, so I don’t know how much of the Conferencing role is supported yet. Xync’s website says the client supports Presence, Search, Audio/Video and PSTN Calls. (I borrowed the below screenshots from there.) He did a review of Xync on his iPad 2 last month.

Lync for Mac will be included with Office for Mac Standard 2011, via Volume Licensing. (Microsoft’s site says that “some voice capabilities require Lync Server 2010 and are not available with Lync Online.” Doesn’t give specifics though.) You can use Lync for Mac with Lync Server 2010 and Lync Online (the Office 365 offering). I don’t have a Mac to test this on, but the interface shots mirror Lync almost exactly. It’s got pretty much everything Lync for PC does: IM/Presence, voice and video, conferencing, desktop sharing, you name it. (Credit to Mary Jo Foley for breaking the news.) Starting October 1st, Microsoft will ship the official Lync client for Mac. Let’s take a look, hmm? Microsoft Lync for Mac Not only do we have a Lync client for the Mac, two clients for the iOS (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad) are now available. When it came to Lync Server, this was difficult at first – Mac-based clients weren’t first priority.īut now that’s over with.

If not for everyday computing, then at least for specialist jobs like graphics work, web development, video.Īnd like everyone else, Mac users will want to stay in contact with co-workers. So I know that more & more companies use Macs in the office. And he does produce some really sharp images on it for us. One of our web designers is he LOVES his Mac.
