I don't think of myself as price sensitive.

I'm not sure that I'll be so cavalier in purchasing OmniOutliner, OmniPlan and OmniWeb for the iPad as they get released.
Perhaps there is a 'value' that I'm not perceiving in the current crop of Omni's premium-priced products against competitors, it doesn't seem from reading other Member's comments that I'm alone in that. If there is such a 'value', Omni is failing to inform and educate a long-term user like myself about what the benefits exactly are.
As I've mentioned in other threads, an OmniGroup format would probably make the suite compelling to me, but I'm not holding my breath that's ever going to happen.
If I'm missing the point, happy to be enlightened! :confused:

I think herein lies the issue. Value is such a personal or relative thing that it's not easy for anyone to quantify. Would someone who paid $$$$ for Audi R8 would perceive value for money versus someone who paid $$ for Toyota would for their Corolla. The Corolla is a great car mind you, but a person who purchased the Audi might find his Audi more valuable than the Corolla regardless of its price. Also, complaining to Audi that their R8 costs too much money won't do any good as long as there are people who perceive value in that car and purchase it.
So, each one of us need to decide for our own whether OG's applications (e.g., OF, Graffle, Sketcher for iPad) are worth the price (valuable).
Then, if you think it's not worth it, then don't buy it. We can debate this issue ad infinitum on this forum, but we won't get anywhere. Also, keep complaining about the price won't get you anywhere I'm afraid since OG won't lower the price at this point.
