We’re Back! Tasks for the iPhone

I haven’t posted in awhile, but a lot has been going on. Currently, I’m in-between jobs. The second thing is that I got an iPhone. I didn’t realize what a difference one device can make on an individual. The most interesting part is that I haven’t even used the phone part yet.

This device is truly information at your figertips. What are the latest movie releases? How much money is in my bank account? What is the zip code for Palo Alto, CA? 

One of the things I’ve been looking at are productivity tools for the iPhone. How can I use this device to make my life easier? Mobile me is a great starting point whith the syncing over-the-wire with emails, contacts and calendar items. One thing was missing from the stack were tasks.

I use Outlook exclusively for tasks. So, how can I get tasks on my iPhone and in outlook and my PC? What is a good task manager for the iPhone?

The solution I am using is toodledo. Here are the steps below. 

1. Sign up for an account, click on the link to give me credit!

3. Install the iPhone Toodledo App from the iTunes Store. Link here:  http://www.toodledo.com/info/iphone.php

I know, it seems like a lot of work just to get a task organizer on your iPhone. I’ve looked at todo as well as a few other task management Web sites, apps and toodle do has the most flexibility as well as features for me. Do your own research and use what’s best for you.
