From PC World: Microsoft has released a new version of its Lync client for Android that now works on tablets as well as smartphones, expanding the footprint of its fast-growing unified communications product.
There are already Lync apps for iOS—iPhone and iPad—Windows Phone and Windows 8.1.
“The Lync team understands that people use a variety of devices, and we want to open the door for everyone to enjoy a great communications experience—no matter where you are or what device you’re using,” wrote Barak Manor, product manager for Lync Mobile, in a blog post.
The new Lync app for Android requires that the tablet or smartphone be running version 4.0 or higher of the Google OS, and that the device have a 1.2Ghz dual-core or higher CPU. It won’t run on devices using Tegra 2 chipsets.
Lync’s server, which can be hosted on a private cloud or Microsoft’s Office 365 public cloud suite, provides customers with IM, presence, Web meetings, audio chat, video conferencing and IP telephony.
