We all know by now that the new iPhone firmware 2 provides Exchange Activesync services for calendar, contacts and mail providing 'Blackberry' like over the air sync.
And so 140 + million Lotus Notes and Domino users wait with baited breath for a similar solution. To date we have . . . . Notes / Domino 8.5 with web based Domino Web Access Ultralite ...... No this is not yet another beat IBM up post, but instead a suggestion.
If you have an iphone with firmware 2.0 and you also are enlightened enough to have a Mac, then how about this for an idea:
Firstly, get yourself a Lotus Notes client on your mac replicating your Mail, Calendar and Contacts - its really very good, honestly!
Then go and get this:

This will sync your Lotus Notes Contacts and Calendar to the native OS X iCal and Address Book applications. At this point you could then use a cable and iTunes to sync your data to the iphone. But, if you want to go one step further though, how about getting yourself a free 60 day trial of Mobile Me from Apple, then setup your iphone for the Mobile Me 'push' services and let the magic begin (and yes its all working now).
All being well, you should see your Mac updating the Mobile Me 'cloud' and the changes pushing to your iphone. Add to this IMAP mail access from your Domino server, or perhaps forward your mail to your Mobile Me mail account and you have an over the air sync solution - well sort of.
