An OCS 2007 iPhone Client is Finally Here
Modality Systems launches iDialog
If it’s been a little quiet over here on the blog, it’s because we’ve been heads down on a number of exciting projects.
We’re very happy to announce the first one today: iDialog.
iDialog is an OCS 2007 and OCS 2007 R2 compatible client for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch.
At Modality, we’re big users of OCS, but we also use iPhones. Initially, we just wanted to build this for ourselves, so we could have the best of both worlds. It became clear that the applicability was much broader given the success of the iPhone as a business tool.

Hi guys,
It’s great to see a proper iPhone client for OCS, I’ll have to give it a go when I get back to work.
In case you’re interested, I’ve written a quick post on the subject here: http://refraction.co.uk/blog/2009/08/23/idialog-office-communication-server-iphone-client/

Thats great news however there is no push notification support so it doesnt work if the app is not in the foreground.

Works as advertised and very straightforward. One minor suggestion: there seems to be a password limit of around 20 characters. That is way to short in today’s passphrase-oriented security environment. Our minimum length is 15, max is 115 characters.

Looking forward to the iDialog being made available on the Hong Kong App Store.

Hi We just wanted to write a client for ourselves, but this seems to be unnecessary now
) We are keen on a german localized version. What are your plans about that and do you need assistance?

Love the program. Please update it for iOS 4.0. I need to be able to run it in the background! Thanks.
