OmniOutliner for iPad is now available
The Omni Group has brought OmniOutliner to the iPad. The app is more of a collection of functions that allow you to gather, categorize and later reference a variety of information. In fact, you can use OmniOutliner for spreadsheets, documents and even photo management. Putting all of that power on the ultra-powerful iPad will appeal to many people.
OmniOutliner can be as simple or as involved as you like. Start with simple lists. Move on to hierarchical documents and tables. The iPad version offers the thoughtful design you'd expect from an app by the Omni Group. For example, you can indent rows with a tap while making a list, or utilize handy tap-and-hold contextual menus, like those found in OmniFocus for iPad.
When it's time to share your data, OmniOutliner lets you export to your iDisk or WebDAV server, email your files or sync them with iTunes File Sharing. As for export formats, choose from plain text, simple HTML, dynamic HTML, or OPML.
We'll have a more in-depth look at OmniOutliner for iPad soon. It's available now from the App Store at US$19.99.

I looked at the their web site, and have a hard time seeing how this is worth $20. Limited general functionality and export/output options make it pretty questionable. Aside from that, the post reads like someone wrote it from reading a press release, without even a brief look a the actual product.

It needs PDF export, though.
Looks kinda cool, but why would I choose this over Pages for $5 more?

They are trading on their cred for (previously) producing some of the best Mac apps in the past by overcharging the new customers that might like to use their apps on iOS for some reason.
I used to be a huge fan and a paying customer of lots of their apps but their pricing policy on iOS is so indecent that I quit cold turkey. The only one that's hard to do without is OmniGraffle and that can be replaced by Illustrator with a bit of work. Bad behaviour like this just shouldn't be rewarded IMO no matter how good the app might be (and it ain't *that* good).
The one jumping the gun was me :) I managed to download OmniOutliner from the Dutch AppStore about five minutes later.
Love the way this looks!
What!? No DropBox support?? Other than that looks pretty cool. Syncing is such a pain though.
