Here at LAN 2 LAN one of our developers has cracked it with a web based application, that allows you to get at your Quickr Content from your handheld device.

Adam Foster (uber developer!) has created a Domino Application which sits on your Lotus Domino Quickr Server and renders the content down to  your handheld device, which is either a Blackberry or iPhone.

If your handheld operating system supports the attachment, you can download it and view it on your device.

That means right now  

iPhone
iPhone can view PDF, RTF, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), and most image attachments. The Word and Excel viewers appears to use the same simplified rendering as Mac OS X's TextEdit program, so not all formatting or embedded graphics may be displayed as they would in Word.

Blackberry Bold
Word, Excel and Powerpoint (2003 format) can all be viewed natively on the device. Image file types are supported as well, ie GIF / JPEG .

Now when I'm out on the road, I can read my Word Documents / Powerpoint Presentations / Excel Spreadsheets all from my bold!

Kudos goes out to Adam for this. Well done Adam!

Now this application is not even a beta, and it is functional rather than pretty .. I've included some obligatory  screen shots from my Blackberry Bold.
As these screen shots have been taken from our production Quickr server, I've had to black out some of the content.
