The long-awaited enterprise collaboration and messaging platform, Lync, is now available for Windows Phones. Teased months ago as one of the premiere experiences for Mango, Lync utilizes many of the APIs that Microsoft introduced with the OS.
At its core Lync is based around instant messaging and phone calls, and it takes great advantage of the Metro stylings to bring a great-looking and functional app to the Marketplace.
The full feature set includes:
– View colleagues’ availability in real time and select the best way to communicate – initiating an instant message (IM), email, or a phone call.
– Connect to Lync conference calls with a single touch, without requiring long numeric passcodes or conference numbers.
– Make and receive calls using your Enterprise Voice (Lync ID) number only, so you can connect with others using a single, consistent identity.
– Lync 2010 for Windows Phone provides transport layer security (TLS) and perimeter/internal network protection without requiring a VPN, so your communications experience is safer no matter where you are or what network you use.
The app should be available now in the Canadian Marketplace.
