Vox Pop: To-dos on your iPhone?

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):

  • Ta-da Lists - The wonderfully simple app from 37 Signals has been quickly adapted into a lovely iPhone-friendly interface.
  • do.Oh - Boy genius, Ben Brown, has whipped together a snazzy looking chunk of func for basic task and list management.
  • @task for iPhone - Looks pretty sexy, but the site is light on info, pricing, and availability (without filling in a goofy form).
  • Nozbe – Announced, but I haven’t seen what this looks like yet. Supposedly coming this week.
  • OmniFocus - (Disclosure: I contribute to this project) - Although it’s still in very early and buggy development (even for an Alpha), our friends at OmniGroup were quick to add an HTML front-end to context view that can be served over your Mac.

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?

I am forced to use...

I am forced to use a Windows PC at work. I am very disappointed that the iPhone does not sync with the Task List and Notes in Outlook. If you are going to sync with Calendar and Contacts, why not sync with Notes and Tasks?? agghh..
