If anyone knows how to set up Omni Sync in OmniGraffle for iPad, please let me know.

Omni Sync Service is just WebDAV, so that is the option you use. The site field will be https://sync.omnigroup.com/your_user_name and the user name and password fields get your user name and password for the service, of course.

Thanks! Now I'm can open OmniGraffle documents from my Dropbox on the iPad, which is 50% of what I need. Hope this works in OmniOutliner for iPad also. (Although I'm still hoping for full Dropbox sync...)

While I agree that it would be convenient to have Dropbox support built-in, I would probably prefer that they spent the time implementing additional OmniOutliner functionality rather than yet another file access method. With the Mac version, one at least has the opportunity to try to provide missing features via Applescript, but there is no such opportunity on the iPad. It won't matter that I can more easily get a file into the app if the app doesn't support the OO feature I need to use!

Ok, this has become ridiculous. I've waited long enough for both OO 4 and OO for iPad. Get real guys.

OF for iPad was amazing, and bought you a lot of time. But this is silly. I'll start looking for ANY alternatives to Omni. I can't hold my workflow hostage.

Please someone tell me it's not the case...

Okay, it's not the case. Feeling better now? :-)

But seriously, when Ken posts that he's just used it for the first time in a non-testing mode, and says there's a lot of work left to do, well, you've been around long enough to know that means there's a lot of work they expect to have to do, and probably a fair amount that they don't know about yet. Remember Hofstadter's Law:

It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.

The 90/90 rule often rears its head, too:

The first 90% of the work takes 90% of the time, and the other 10% of the work takes the other 90% of the time.

well, not really, but thanks anyway for trying to cheer me up :-)
The fact is, there is no viable outliner alternative on the iPad for now. I have Carbonfin, but it does not even come close to OO. Apart from the fact that their only common language is OPML, which could be acceptable of course, what really irks me is that you can import files in Carbonfin only uploading them on their website, creating an account on which you really have no control (and, I suppose, not even SSL access). I need to be able to either upload the files through iTunes (which Carbonfin does not support) or using webdav or a similar service. Add to that that Carbonfin, as far as I know, does not support any formatting, and you can understand why I'm sometimes even thinking about getting a MacBook Air just to use OO.
That said, since there is nothing else to do, I'll wait I guess... :-)

I'm a heavy user of OO and of Evernote, so I would love to see a sync option for that; as well as above mentioned Dropbox, iWork, iDisk etc.
I'm using Egretlist app on the iPhone, which syncs nicely with Evernote, but I so miss my excellent OO options... Would there be any chance of Omni apps partnering with Evernote in the future regarding sync?
