My iPad (http://www NULL.apple NULL.com/ipad/)has become my best friend – I take it everywhere I go (although I am a bit leery of the grocery store – afraid I might leave it in the cart). And since I was an "early adopter," there weren't millions of apps available when I received my iPad via FedEx back in May. That meant I could actually sort through the ones I'd like to try.
"Taska" (http://www NULL.bitalpha NULL.com/index NULL.html) is one of my favorites – it's a To Do list and project management app that has a simple, beautiful interface that I actually USE. Based on "Getting Things Done" or GTD principles, it has "Inbox," "Action List," "Next," "Someday," and "Projects" lists. But it also has a Shopping List (sorely missing from apps like THINGS for Mac), which I love.
Even better, using my iPad's GPS (I have the 3G version which lets me roam and use the internet), it uses "Context" to show me where I am located in relation to the errands I am running. For instance, if I am supposed to go to the bank which is across town and to Lowe's (I spend a lot of time at Lowe's) which is two blocks away, Taska will tell me that, so I can be more efficient with time and gas. Cool, huh?
It syncs with the popular Toodledo app (http://www NULL.toodledo NULL.com/index NULL.php?ref=td495d4c8865423)when you use it on the iPhone. But for me, the iPhone is just too darned small to be practical. I can't see it well, my big fingers always hit the wrong keys on the keyboard and it's not as pretty (granted, I have an ancient iPhone…shockingly it's two years old!!!).
Anyway, wanted to let you know about Taska. I do a lot of research about this stuff and might as well pass along my findings to you, too!
