Why was this even worth a video clip, did IBM pay you to post it and this is just paid advertisement with window dressing to make it look otherwise?

I use IBM's Notes product only because I have to for work. IMHO, IBM can't even get desktop e-mail right so why would I want them on my mobile device?

Notes is rock solid reliable and ahead of the nearest competitor, Exchange.

From a server reliability, scalability, and performance standpoint, Notes/Domino owns Exchange. Exchange is a SMB product that scales very poorly.

That being said, IBM does need to hire some UI designers.

IBM/Notes/Rational apps have garbage UIs. Inefficient, clunky, horrible navigation structures, without any thought of end-user experience. Typically looks at least a couple generations behind the competition. I would expect the same of any mobile email app they design.
