Reading this thread has resonated a bit with some things I've been thinking about recently. In some ways I think that OF is demonstrating that a tablet (at least) an iPad is a qualitatively different and in some ways better tool than is a personal computer
I can't justify a $1000 plus expense to be able to create perspectives for my iPad OF. I would have to buy a Mac and software for it. My employer only provides a win machine
From what I've read it sounds like many people who have OF on both Mac and iPad find the iPad implementation, particularly reviewing to be superior to OF on Mac.
It strikes me that Omnigroup has an opportunity and a challenge here. The opportunity is to create a product that causes people to prefer and select an iPad over other tools, including those in the corporate world who are forced to standardize on a win machine as their primary computer.
The challenge is that there are design decisions that will differ between the 3
platforms that OF runs on. Some of those decisions have already been made. I've looked at a number of how-to articles which describe how to do something on OF Mac and thought, as a user of only the iPad version, how different a number of activities are between the Mac and iPad versions.
So I am hoping that Omnigroup is watching and thinking how to adapt the program for the way those of us who won't ever buy the Mac version need the program to work
