Nerdgasm: OmniGraffle on the iPad [the Omni Mouth:iPad or Bust!]

I was thinking which applications I would like to install onto an iPad and OmniFocus from OmniGroup (my GTD / ToDo list) is important to me. So I headed over to the their blog to see if anything had been announced. Then I read down to this piece:

Yes. Five. We want to bring all five of our productivity apps to iPad: OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, OmniPlan, OmniFocus, and OmniGraphSketcher.

This is a big undertaking, and we can’t do it all at once. We started working on iPad adaptations of OmniGraffle and OmniFocus as soon as the SDK was made available Wednesday afternoon, and we’re hoping to get started with OmniGraphSketcher for iPad within the next few weeks.

Oh my. OmniGraffle on the iPad. Touch computing to draw network diagrams while sitting in meetings. I already use OmniGraffle for most of my personal diagrams for this blog and writing and I much prefer it to Visio.

Awesome. Now I really will need the 64GB unit. Oh my, I’m off to fan myself. I had a Nerdgasm.

    Thanks for linking to this. Omnigraffle is the finest diagramming software the world has ever seen. I was hoping to avoid an iPad, too, but this might help push it over the top.

    You know, I was pretty ecstatic when I first heard about the iPad being an affordable portable Apple device; I wanted to run out, grab one, and run Omnigraffle/Scrivener, and the 3-4 other OSX apps that I love on it (I don’t enjoy OSX as my desktop OS, I only like a few niche applications; I actually have a quadcore 100% functioning hackintosh at home that I never even run OSX on).

    Then I read that it was using an Apple designed processor, and not even using OSX.

    Bummed me out and I lost all interest in it.

    But! If what you said comes to fruition, and they make a fully capable Omnigraffle; I may be tempted again.
