This is great news. I'm relying more and more on OmniFocus. I have both the Mac app and the iPhone app.
I rarely use the iPhone app, however, and for reasons that aren't entirely assuaged by the iPad.
For one, I'm rockin' the original iPhone, and OF is slow to load. It would be better on the the 3GS, certainly, and faster still on the iPad.
But without multitasking, I don't think it could ever be fast enough. On the Mac I use the global shortcut to invoke the quick entry window. For those who don't know, it's almost like spotlight, in that wherever you are, whatever you're doing you can just press a keystroke and up pops a window for entering a, well, whatever... an idea, an to-do, a note. It's incredibly quick, and I love catching thoughts and throwing them into my "trusted system" just as fast as they enter my head.
I don't care how fast the iPad is. If I have to 1) quit an application 2) navigate to a new page on the home screen 3) launch omnifocus 4) tap the button to enter new inbox item 5) enter my idea 6) quit the app 7) navigate the home screen and 8) launch the app I had been in, then I wouldn't even bother. I'd write it down on a scrap of paper.
And that's something I wish Apple would figure out. That the lack of multitasking would cause mewith iPhone and iPad in handto choose a piece of paper and a pen rather than deal with their interface *that gets in my way.*
If I had a iPhone 3GS I'd just jailbreak and run OF in the background. I may just do that if I get the next iPhone. Or, if I can jailbreak and background an iPad, I may get that and just keep my old slow iPhone Edge to, you know, make calls with.
