That's either poor design, greed, or a lack of market awareness. Look at a simple competitor like EasyTrack Manager and you'll see a simple UI, seamless synch between clients, and an iPhone web UI - all for $19.95. Sure, it's limited, but expecting users to shell out $99 for a .Mac account or set up a WebDav option is a questionable choice. Altogether, if I want seamless integration of a GTD tool, I'll end up paying $79 for a desktop license, another fee for iPhone access, and an annual fee to Apple (or do my own tech support to set up a WebDav option). I really like your tools - but you're missing the point of the iPhone entirely - simplify, simplify, simplify. That means pricing, purchasing, and above all integration. With Mac OS penetration increasing, the time is ripe for a simple GTD tool. I'll look forward to the next generation of tools in the hopes that Omni will rise to the challenge. This is disappointing -

As I'm dependent of Omnifocus, I'm thinking to buy now the Iphone, I have tested the old one and of course its a nice phone and Mp3 player, but the new one with more speed can be more interesting for me, but with Omnifocus it will become a weapon, dangerous weapon for lead managers.

Only problem is I don't have a Mac to sync with are there any websites that I'll be able to sync with and edit my data on the web? Maybe MobileMe? :) Congratulations - I’m not even a user but, I’ve heard a lot about Omni focus from TWIT and I’m going to buy and iPhone 3G just to use it.

I just can't wait to get the new OmniFocus version and iPhone version. As a matter of fact I haven't used OmniFocus since I purchased it a few weeks ago since I need to synchronization so badly. Any release date available? :-) Congratulations!
