I don't want half-assed engineering any more than anyone else does, but that is not what I am talking about. OO has been out for a couple of years now, and the idea of using ZIP files as a first...

Fair enough, you do raise a good point. One way or another you will need new software. Either an app update though the App Store. And Omni could make a free or cheap way if they want to — we will...

No it isn't. It is a smartphone. It is a little computer that I carry around with me at all times. Because of it I don't need to carry a laptop nearly as much as I used to.

Because: I don't carry my iPad with me everywhere, all the time, like I do with my phone?
