Blogging the keynote from the Macworld Expo floor

by Joel on January 9, 2007

I typically don't enjoy waking up early in the morning, whether it's to go fishing or watch Steve give the keynote address for the Macworld Expo (in fact, seeing as we had to wake up at 4:00 am to catch our flight down here, I avoided the situation entirely by not sleeping at all, hence, no waking up).

As a result, I head on down to the exhibition floor, help set up the booth, and either watch the keynote information on someone else's website (just like those of you who can't attend), or mosey on over to the curtained-up Apple pavilion and listen to the audio of the address.

It's a relaxing and therapeutic environment for me, the floor is not nearly as crowded as when the attendees are present, exhibitors are tirelessly setting up the final preparations for their booths, vacuum cleaners running over the last little bits of debris and there's an expectant electricity in the air as the last few minutes remain until all chaos breaks loose.

Oh, and apparently it's the iPhone.

iPhone all the way ...


Now the question is: “Will OmniFocus be iPhone compliant ?”

Oh and what a phone…


I presume those are variants on the software equivalents on the desktop… so will a version of OmniFocus become available on the iPhone?  Or OmniWeb come to that?

All I can say is: I want OmniOutliner for the iPhone!

I hope you guys can code for gadgets, 'cause Apple isn't interested in computers anymore!

Will you be offering any Macworld deals, like OmniPlan combined with OmniOutliner?

Don't hold your breath…apparently there is no SDK. It is a closed system. Wah.

“Closed” only means you won't be able to put anything on it that Apple doesn't want on it. If OmniGroup scores a major hit with OmniFocus, Apple would be foolish not to work with them to get something on the iPhone. Also, there's nothing preventing Apple from releasing an SDK in the future, for this iPhone or another model. If the iPhone doesn't do what you want, tell Apple with your wallet and buy something else.
