At the IBM Domino V10 Launch event in Frankfurt we announced to start a public Beta for IBM Domino Mobile Apps (=DMA), which is a Notes Client for the Apple iPad to be available on Oct. 31 and perfectly on time for Halloween we opened the Beta Sign up form for anybody to participate and also tweeted about it.

For this Beta we are using Apple TestFlight for managing the installation and distribution of the product to Apple iPad devices. Anybody who has registered before Oct. 31 should have received a Redeem code with instructions on how to use it. For all new beta participants the process has been simplified. Instead of using Redeem Codes that needs to be sent e.g. by mail we are allowing people to directly signup for this beta, which means you can just head over to https://ibm.biz/V10MobileApps and sign up yourself to get started immediately.

All you have to do is to...

• Take your iPad and navigate to https://ibm.biz/V10MobileApps,
  After providing registration details you will be redirected to Apples TestFlight page with further instructions
• Step 1 will prompt to Install TestFlight on your iPad
• and in Step 2 Join the Beta, click the button "Start Testing"
• 

Next you have to do the initial configuration which IBM Champion Oliver Busse already wrote about in this article. Just get the NotesID on your iPad, either by using the IDVault or by copying the file using iTunes and then you can open your beloved Domino Apps on your iPad, like Theo's Wine tastings app:


Daniel Nashed is going even further on his blog where he is looking under the hood of the product.

Just to be clear: this is a beta program where we at IBM would like to hear your feedback - so please go ahead and join the beta yourself.
In case you are missing a feature or function in IBM Domino Mobile Apps, please submit your XMAS wishlist here

I'm wondering why nobody has submitted an idea for supporting Android yet...who wants to post this idea first?
