Just in case you missed the blog, the announce list, the message of the day or the sudden concentration of excitement coming from a little building in Seattle and/or the Greater Seattle area, a pre-sale on OmniFocus has begun!

Ethan has created a new video and there's also a quick reference chart for those who are interested.

Additionally, we'd like to take a moment to thank all of you here who have helped us, helped each other and taken so much of your own time to contribute to this project. We know we're not done yet, but it feels like a good time to say "Thanks", so... Thanks! And please keep the feedback coming! We really appreciate all your help. :-)

Congrats to the entire Omni team!

Ordered... Ker-ching!

Well done guys. It's been great seeing the development of the Alpha Builds, can't wait to see how things shape up over the next couple of months!

Fabulous news. I immediately went to order, got all my info and credit card info entered in, but when I got to the Step 2 of the purchase, where you review your info, there was no SUBMIT button to go to the next step!

I am using OW 5.7 Sneaky Peak, so maybe that's the problem?

I can't wait to order! OF is so great.

Kudos to the Ninjas and everyone at OW.

Update:
Just tried to order in Safari (3.0.4) and when I get to the submission stage, there's no SUBMIT button.

mettarefuge: It's working for me with the OW sneaky peeks. You're looking for a dark green button in the lower right corner labeled "Submit Order". Check that it isn't just scrolled off the right edge of your screen.

As someone who has been following this list, I know how much work has gone into this program. However, I think that the average "civilian" is going to see the price as excessive. However much stuff there is under the hood, it seems like a very simple program. Again, I realize all the work and talent it took to make it that simple seeming. But realistically, I think you should be looking to perceived value a bit more in setting prices. Another factor is that users of software like this tend to own several different products in this category. It takes a bit of jumping around before the right product is found. And "trial periods" are not sufficient for really testing this kind of product. So you need to consider that a person has already spent a bit on productivity products, which didn't satisfy him, and will be a bit cynical about Yet Another one.

Okay, that's my price spiel. I will not be reading the responses to this thread. I know that this topic generates a lot of emotion, and I know that this forum is full of true believers. Carry on the discussion without me. :-)

I had the same reaction. $40 seems like the perfect price; I was surprised that it will retail for twice as much. It could be the most expensive GTD program around!

Thanks for all the hard work on this app! I'm looking forward to all the polish that will be applied between now and 1/8/08 - MacWorld!

I have to say that I agree that the price is too high. This is not criticism of the quality of the product. I have been using the Alpha from nearly the beginning and I would personally pay $80 because I already depend on it for my day to day work management.

However, if I hadn't been using the program for all these months, I doubt a short trial period would be enough to convince me to pay $80.

I think that this is a really great product (even though there is room for lots of UI improvements) and I really want as many people as possible to use it. I hope that the price isn't a barrier to that. That said, I will still recommend it to everyone I know.
