Microsoft Lync now available in the Marketplace

A few weeks ago Microsoft utilized Twitter to confirm a mobile version of Lync was on the way. Good news for those of you that have been awaiting this release – Microsoft Lync 2010 is available now in the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Some of the key features are:

• 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.

Some users have reported that resetting Microsoft Outlook Office 365 triggers a prompt to download Lync 2010. If not, you can head over to the Marketplace to download it here.
