1. Wonderful news.
2. Superb video.
3. Why does the iPad in the video say “Device” on the back? Obviously it’s a virtual iPad, given you didn’t have one in-hand when producing the video, but why “Device”?

Guys – Love the work but I think it’s a bit rough that a lot of other good developers are making universal app’s.

I just feel like I am always paying for Thing’s – and now I am too far in to stop buying.

Yes, a bundled discount is appropriate. Please find a way to do this, because as others have pointed out $80 is an inordinate amount of money for a single user. Parallels or fusion cost less than that, and we are talking here about big development projects.

I really like your work, and I absolutely love the style and charm in your products, so please enable me to support them and spread the word with fair prices, and prices that reward loyal users.

@Neil, david myers: No worries! If anything, we will be adding more products and platforms. We are not a single bit less enthusiastic about the Mac. What I was referring to above was cannibalization (Wikipedia). Something that inevitably has to be taken into account when introducing a new product.

@ Jürgen: I really love Things and I’ve been using it since around when it first came out. Regarding your comment that “In the future we expect less people to be interested in the Mac version anymore,” please don’t make such assumptions!!

I love your iPad version of Things, but I don’t see an iPad fitting anywhere in my life. Moreover, the usefulness of Things on a Mac and an iPhone is a HUGE deal; it’s not about to go away! Please don’t ignore this important platform as the iPad inevitably gains in popularity.

I am also a loyal owner of the iphone and mac version of things and it would be nice to have an early adopter discount or something of the sort….just a thought :-)

Love the iPad app. One issue. The scheduled events on my mac do not show up in the scheduled events section on the iPad?!? Am I missing something?

I absolutely love things on my mac and iPhone and the iPad version looks amazing. I can truly say that this is a product worthy of Apple themselves. I’m okay with the price of things for the iPad because it’s such a great product. One thing that others have mentioned as a crucial feature is cloud sync. I very much appreciate the Arrivals page and its info, but I just don’t know what “full speed” means with respect to the arrival of cloud sync. Obviously, I know that means you’re working full speed on it, but does that mean it will be ready in one month, two, months, six months, a year (hopefully not). If you could please just give us some general time frame for when this is supposed to come out that would be very much appreciated. Once cloud sync comes out my productivity with Things is going to shoot through the roof.

I also feel that the price is excessive. Frankly, I was shocked that there’s no upgrade pricing for owners of iPhone and Mac versions.
