Indeed, so infrequent I apparently didn't notice that I'm no longer on the list. Were it not for your daring fireball sponsorship, I probably would still be on the old version. Could this maybe be a push notification in the app? I don't generally turn on such notifications, but for an app update notice (and time-limited sale), I certainly would.
Great update, btw. I eagerly await the Mac version (I've already re-subscribed to the mailing list).

Thanks for the kind words and support, dvoglesby! We really appreciate it.

We would be in violation of Apple's App Store Review Guidelines if we did that:
"5.6 Apps cannot use Push Notifications to send advertising, promotions, or direct marketing of any kind"

I wanted to chime in on - what appears to be - a ongoing topic of discussion.
Please for give my late entry to this, but I typically do not visit forums unless I have an issue (I have not had any issues since I purchased 1P years ago), I do not twit or bookface. Nor do subscribe to every email possibility based on what programs I purchase in Best Buy or my son helps me load on my fancy iPad. I am not 20 something, I am not 30 something, I am not 40 something (I'll stop there). I do, however, read magazines (you know - those fancy paper things that often come in the mail that you can read) and occasionally read the same magazine on my way too fancy iPad. It was in a recent article from MacWorld that I noted a newer 1Password - "1P4".
I like my 1Password for the simple reason in which it was intended - for older folks like me to not have to remember every single internet password that floods my macbook. While I have come accustomed to paying for major upgrades - like 1P4, I do agree with some of the posts that suggest there ought to be a better way to announce upgrades with any associated discounts. I have become used to some of my iPad aps telling me about new versions or my son updates my iPad with some sort of automatic upgrades (for free?).
I would purchase the new "1P4" (I guess it only comes for small devices, not my Mac - which seems weird, why would you upgrade one but not the other?) - but not at the full price. Picky? Yes. And on my income, you should understand why.
Not really complaining, just disappointed I missed something I never knew about or will never find out about tomorrow. It is hard enough to keep up with what those wackos in DC are doing, much less keep up with all these silly updates.

Hi Oky,
We'll look into adding a note about 1Password 4 being available in the 1Password 3 app, that might be a good way to let folks know. We don't like the idea of notifying people via alerts. It's sure to annoy many folks when they open 1Password to get the data they need and they get blocked by this alert that they may quickly ignore. If we can find a way to do this nicely, we'll try doing this.
In 1Password 4, we added a News feed to keep people updated on the news of 1Password. This is probably the area where we'll announce the next version of 1Password, which is far away.
As for the OS X version, we're working on it right now. As a small company, we focus on one app at the time to ensure its quality before we move on to the next platform. The good news is that starting with 1Password 4, the OS X and iOS apps share nearly the same core, so it should be possible for us to release the OS X app much sooner than the usual.
Thank you for your feedback!
