The second Lync mobile client has landed, this time for Android – Grab it from the market place here.
I’ve grabbed the app & loaded it up on a friends device to grab a few screenshots. If your curious you can have a look at my WP7 Lync overview (it has more screen shots & a network trace in).
Also don’t forget you need to prepare your Lync environment with some updates & tweaks before you can sign-in, instructions here.

Clicking Dial launches the android phone dialler
Background notification
Because the Android app runs in the back ground there is no need for push notifications. The notifications appear in the standard Android notification drop down.
I think the client is pretty good. Looks good, works fine. I do wish the client allowed for video calls or would use SIP to communicate via a tablet but maybe those features will be included in a future version.
hi,the lync client is limited to IM,no possibility to
communicate with peers thru audio ,it is very limited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
