I'm with you, hypotyposis. This vimeo video is one of the most depressing things I've seen in ages. To watch the presenter stumble over and over again while reading script off his screen, not to mention OG not having done a REAL screencast with Screen Flow or something similar, is pathetic beyond belief. Jeez, I could have produced a ScreenFlow presentation in an afternoon that would have told the viewer 10x the amount of information shown in this convention video. And if I worked for OG, I'd be so excited about my job, I'd have every word of that script memorized and know the app inside out.
We've been waiting about a year for OO to come to the iPad, with promises after promises from Ken. It looks like it's going to be delayed until the end of 2011. Unbelievable.
OG kind of depresses me these days. When I think back to the OF Alpha rave party at TekServe in NYC when they pretty much gave away the alpha version of OF to all of us WAY before it ever got officially released, I shudder in disgust at OG's development of so many apps slowing to a complete crawl. What is going on up there in the Seattle office?
It might be OK if they were secretly developing something as awesome as Twitter or Wolfram Alpha, but I don't think that's the case. Dropbox integration hasn't even come to OF yet, whereas the smallest apps imaginable (like Mindnode), not to mention huge apps like PersonalBrain and DEVONThink, have made DropBox integration a reality (if not officially, then as a completely easy hack).
Holy moly, even Marketcircle has Daylite on the iPad now! (That's because they're not trying to spend 2 years to make it perfect.)
Tech moves too fast nowadays. Get the product to the newest platform quickly or you look like a joke.
Harsh words for a company I love, but in OO's case, it's the truth.
