OmniFocus 1.0 will ship on January 8

[Ken Case]

Hi, all!

You wouldn't know it from the silence on this mailing list, but it's  
been a very, very busy six months for OmniFocus:  we've sent out  
"sneaky peek" invitations to 16,193 people, read 20,232 email messages  
sent directly to our support ninjas (at omnifocus at omnigroup.com) and  
another 8,326 messages posted to the OmniFocus forums (at <http://forums.omnigroup.com/forumdisplay.php?f=38 
 >), and we've published over 500 "sneaky peek" releases of the  
software.

We could probably go on indefinitely in this state:  you continue to  
give us lots of great ideas for ways in which we could improve the  
software further, and it's hard to resist implementing a good idea  
when we hear it.  But it's time to draw the OmniFocus 1.0 development  
cycle to a close and give you all a stable version that you can use  
without having to download a new update each week.

So, I'm pleased to (finally!) announce that we will be shipping  
OmniFocus 1.0 on January 8, 2008.  OmniPlan 1.0 licenses will sell for  
$79.95 when it ships--but you can pre-order licenses starting today  
for just $39.95 (saving $40), and can save even more if you already  
own a copy of OmniOutliner Pro or purchase more than one license.

In related news, a number of you have been asking when we might  
publish an updated video overview (since after 500 releases the last  
one was starting to feel just a wee bit out of date!).  Ethan has been  
understandably busy, since he's been moving himself and his family  
from Hong Kong to Seattle to join Omni as our head of marketing  
(welcome, Ethan!)--but now that he's finally here and getting settled  
in, he's recorded an updated video which we're posting to our updated  
OmniFocus web site.  You'll find it at www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus.

Enjoy!
