> Ignore the fact that they wrote a slightly patronizing post detailing what OTA sync is

Wow. This has to be the fastest I've ever stopped reading an article halfway through.

Has this guy considered that, just maybe, the world does not revolve around him, and that other people might not know what OTA sync is? Especially considering the audience of Things.

I've been using Things since it came out for the Mac and I've been wanting OTA sync since the iPhone came out, but it isn't completely necessary. It is a nice to have feature, but I would rather have it done right than rushed to production.

By his logic, Apple waiting months before letting the iPhone have 3rd party apps should've killed it; or Apple not having copy+paste until version 3.0 should've killed it. But neither of those happen because Apple was patient enough to do it right the first time.

Apple didn't say "SDK and copy-paste coming soon" and then take two years to not deliver them.
