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

@Rick: You are exactly right about spreading your workflow too thin across multiple task-management applications. This is why I decided to go with an email approach to keeping my GTD system integrated. I designed the Ready-Set-Do! GTD program for the mac which has the ability to email one's action lists to oneself so they are portable and accessible from anything -- iPhone or someone else's computer. With RSD you get four emails, each time-stamped with the date so you always know which copy of your lists is the freshest. Those four emails are Projects, Next Actions, Waiting Fors, and Reading. And users can "email" ideas, attachments, etc. from their iPhones or from another computer to their RSD setup on their main mac with the new RSD Mail Rule. It's a pretty sweet setup -- and the new version of RSD now even adds a little fun by helping users graduate through various "belt levels" of productivity. » POSTED IN:
