Of course they will add
some features between major releases. It's been over four years of 'what features would you like to see' and 'how you you like us to implement ...'. Faith wanes after years of promise.

Just because the foundation is in place doesn't mean the features are imminent. OG has been
asking about what users would like to see in OO/OOP 4 for a long time, but that doesn't mean they will, or even
plan to, deliver them.

Read the posts in this forum for the last four - five years and you'll see that it's the most requested feature for OO/OOP. The example sited was to demonstrate how long OG has been specifically asking
users about it.

Well, a
careful reading of Ken's comments shows that OG hasn't
committed to cloning at all - they find it
interesting but have decided that iPad development is
more important. With OP 2 a top priority, and other apps being ported to the iPad, I don't expect cloning will see the light of day until 2011 at the earliest.
