Dear Natas,
I am an Omnis Developer. Let me say that not all Omnis developers
will concur with Malcolm's Omnis developer opinions, and I for one
would not like to be put on anyone's "shitlist".
I have met with Tess Collins, who is the head of developer relations
at Apple Australia, a number of times to see how Apple can help my
software company get it's products into the Mac marketplace. If you
have a product, they will help with the promotion of that product
through their Apple channels. If it is in one of their areas of
interest, then they are prepared to put effort into integrating the
product into their marketing strategies. In all my dealings with
Tess, I've found that she is genuinely interested in supporting
developers who are writing for the Mac platform. We are certainly
going to keep in touch with Tess as our new products are announced.
Products that are created using Omnis are usually in very narrow
vertical markets, perhaps this particular Omnis developer has not
found the assistance they need in getting their product to market.
Regards,
Paul.
note to self
put omnis developers on shitlist
my view is that she has probably had very little to do with Apple or
its developers
so perhaps she could qualify such statements with some cold hard facts
- 2 cents

I was talking to a Omnis developer today and she was scathing about
Apple and it's support for developers. She said that unless it is
to do with the iPod 'Steve' is not interested. I got the impression
that very little of the massive income from iPod sales is going
into the computer side of the business. What are the views of the
members of Wamug?
