Apple highlights third party iPad apps with walkthrough videos

I think Things gets attention because people believe it is simple and "looks pretty." Not sure about that. I own Things, Appigo's ToDo, Omnifocus and Task PRO and a couple of others. I currently use OmniFocus, but am not totally pleased. My biggest complaint is that they are all designed around "GTD". GTD is simply one person's theory about how to think about tasks. More importantly, how you want to view tasks may be a bit different than how you think about them. In each of these programs it is difficult to break out of the GTD structure, but for now, OmniFocus has more customization features. That's a bit ironic, as the OmniFocus people are pretty entrenched in GTD, with white papers, etc.

I haven't tried Omnifocus. I have OmniGraffle, although I rarely use it, so I know they make pretty solid products. I think they're pricing is way out of line too though. I think companies like Cultured Code and Omni are going to have to adjust their pricing to match the new paradigm. They're not just competing with Mac desktop developers anymore. They've got to consider every .99 app competition. And, honestly, a lot of the .99 apps are better. I'd much rather use iMockups than Omnigraffle...

I think its the fact that he said the page is new when it isn't thats the sticking point. It's been the top link on the iPad site since it launched. I really doubt anyone would miss it really. Not sure why its posted anyway since they have done the same for the iPhone and iPod touch...
