Vox Pop: To-dos on your iPhone?
Merlin Mann | Jul 3 2007
As noted by John Gruber and Living with Mac, the iPhone doesn't currently appear to have built-in support for "to-dos" -- even the modest task support that's built-in to OS X's iCal. :-( While this is difficult for me to understand (I know it's something I'd expect in even a Gen 1 smart phone), it's cool to see that web- and Mac-based developers are stepping up to the plate in the absence. A few of the apps I've seen so far (and in varying states of reality and vapor):
I'm sure there are others that I'm missing (which I hope you'll share in comments), and I know this is something that's a priority for a lot of you proud new iPhone owners: What are you using to manage actions from your iPhone? What would a home run look like in terms of future, built-in to-do support for the iPhone? 27 Comments

Wow! I'm really surprised that more people haven't said anything about this! Why would Apple leave out part of the functionality of iCal when syncing to iPhone? Tasks are just another set of calendars!!! Why does this make any sense? As mentioned, even the generic Smart Phones (must we mention Windows?) have tasks. Genuinely disappointed in this as a staunch GTD'er... Hope they add it with their first update. » POSTED IN:
