Only one person has mentioned iMExchange so I thought I would second it.

If you set up Outlook according to the way that is suggested by the David Allen White Paper iMExchange then becomes a seemless system synching back to Outlook.

It is very simple and works very well. I don’t see it getting much publicity though.

Using Pocket Informant on iPhone 4,

Totally agree with Christian on this app functions that are unlike other apps.

I kind of like the cross platform org-mode in Emacs for doing my organizing. Although the iPhone app – mobileorg – is a bit limited, the power of org-mode on the computer compensates for the limitations of the iPhone app. See http://orgmode.org/ .

I have been looking into http://www.smartytask.com/
I am fairly new to GTD but it seems to be a lot like Omnifocus and has everything that I had got from the book. Hope it helps.

I use Outlook with GTD addin which works good for me. Since a while I use Pocket Informant on the iPhone.
What I Like from it :
-The calendar is way better than the native iPhone calendar.
-I have tasks in the same app and dont’t need to switch between different apps.
-The possibilty to sync with the desktop exists. There are still some problems but this is due to problems with iOS 4 (at least the ones I have/had).
-The tasks support contexts which I can sync with the categories that I use with the GTD addin from outlook.
-The tasks sync the complete texts of my outlook tasks. So mails which are converted to tasks in outlooks are readable in the tasks on the iPhone.Comments I put into the tasks will be on the iPhone.
-Tasks can be filtered by context.In idle time I can go through my @waiting for’s or other tasks
-There is the possiblity to maintain location based reminders but I’m still not sure how good this helps me.
-The developer support reacts good and fast on requests. I already suggested Ideas and reported bugs which changed the app.

The price is more or less high compared to other apps but they do sales from time to time.For the price I paid I don’t regret to have bought it.

I love TaskTask for iPhone. It syncs with exchange server… So i use it with outlook. I have also used iMTasks, but prefer TaskTask – cheaper too!

Hey, I’m a big fan of Remember the Milk. Cloud syncing. Great web app. Lots of access points (Ipod, Android, Web, Mobile Cell phone Browser, Gmail, Google Cal…). Simple interface but also has great features to delve into-tags, quick keys, smart lists, command line entry.

The developers are on the job. In the two years I’ve been on RTM I seen some great new features implemented. Active online forums with all kinds of helpful posts-GTD posts are active as you’d guess.

Have any of you ToodleDo fans tried the 3rd party Outlook sync software? Does it work well?

I am amazed that Apple have not done something about this. I love my iPhone, but committed PC user at work & home. Tasks should be a core offering with contacts, notes and email.

Maybe as frustrated users we should be partitioning Apple…
