Hi guys,

Ok we are all a bit of overloaded AND optimistic. But I think I can remember this nice graphic stating an Omniplan for iPad release Fall 2010.

Don't you remember?

It was the main reason for me to buy an iPad at this time.

Ok we are still in 2011, and fall is two month ... do you still think we can have these promising omniplan for iPad in 2011.

( I still can't make the decision to move to merlin )

First, the most current graphic says 2011, not Fall of 2011. Even if it did say Fall of 2011, that's a 3 month window starting 2 months from now, not a promise that it would be available the first day of autumn.

If OmniPlan for iPad was your rationalization for buying an iPad, why did you buy the iPad before there was an OmniPlan for iPad? Who's being overly optimistic here? :-)

yes guys

optimistic and enthusiast thats omniplan users...

Is everything going well on your plans?

We've done some preliminary work on the iPad app, but our top priority is to ship version 2 of OmniPlan for Mac. We submitted a release candidate build to Apple last Friday, so we're in the "pretty soon now" timeframe for that happening.

Since some portions of the remaining work are outside our control, we can't give you a specific release date for v2 yet. Once it ships and we clean up any issues we discover post-release, though, it's iPad or bust! :-)

Right now i'm using projector on the iPad, but I dream of the day OmniPlan iPad is released. I know you guys will make a great app, I just hope it stays under $100.

The integration of OP and OF sounds very cool. I can't wait to see how that works. Does this also mean that there will be some integration with OP for iPad and OF for iPad as well?

I'm in a position that I have to choose between OmniPlan or Merlin. I find OmniPlan so much appealing and would love to work with it.

The fact is, I need to work also with iPad and as far as I know, Omni Group doesn't seem to focus on this soon. On the other hand, Merlin already offer the iPad version, but I'm not too hot with their UI.

I already own and use OmniFocus, OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner for my professional needs. I always find your apps well done and brilliant. I'd like to continue the "family" with OmniPlan.

Can you give us some news about the iPad integration/version of OmniPlan, please.

Thanks.

The beta test is ongoing...the wheels are turning! It's neither imminent, nor impossibly far away. There's still a fair amount of work to be done (I hope!) and I don't have any visibility into how much effort the OmniPlan team is devoting to the iPad app; I know they are also doing work on the Mac app.

Do you have any of the other Omni iPad apps? You might be able to hazard a guess as to whether or not you would like the OmniPlan iPad app's UI. I don't think it would do any harm to follow the directions in the post above about expressing interest in the beta, but I obviously can't make any promises about whether you would be accepted.
