OmniGroup considering developing iPad-specific apps

updated 05:25 pm EST, Fri January 29, 2010

OmniGraffle, OmniFocus to be tablet optimized


OmniGroup is set to release new versions of several software utilities optimized for Apple's new iPad tablet, according to the company's CEO Ken Case. The iPhone edition of OmniFocus will be updated to take advantage of the iPad's larger screen size. The developer is also considering iPad-specific versions of several of its Mac OS X productivity apps, such as OmniGraffle.

OmniFocus provides tools for managing tasks organized by project, place, person, or date. Users can also sync information wirelessly with the Mac OS X version of the software.

OmniGraffle is designed for creating diagrams, charts, page layouts, and website mockups. It is unclear which of the basic features will be brought to the iPad platform.

OmniGroup has yet to announce specific details, such as pricing and time-frames, for the iPad-optimized apps.

    Do it!

    OmniGraffle on the iPad would ROCK. For those who haven't used it, it's Visio done right. It's a beautiful app on the Mac.

    Just considering it?

    I'da thunk they're already deep into it. After seeing all the cool new UI stuff in iWork, I think OmniGroup would really be able to take advantage of the iPad.

    Graffle!

    As soon as I saw the iPad, I thought of OmniGraffle as an app that could be a perfect fit.

    Scrivener for the iPad

    Omni should also talk to the developer of Scrivener about developing an iPad version, combining the best writer's app on the Mac with one of the best UI developers in the business.

    OmniFocus!

    I'd love to see OmniFocus on the iPad. I use both the Mac and iPod touch versions and love it! An iPad version would certainly make me break out the plastic!

    OmniFocus

    OminFocus is the App I spend most of my time in on the iPhone. Perfect candidate for the iPad.
