iPad To Don�t

One of the inexplicable omissions in the original iPhone OS�and still the case in iOS 4 on the iPad�is a lack of tasks. Sure, you can view and sync your calendars, but any to-do items on those calendars will be missing, and none of the iPad�s built-in apps displays or syncs to-do items from your Mac or PC.

I don�t know why this is, or whether Apple will ever provide an official remedy, but in the meantime, oodles of third-party developers will be happy to sell you (or even give you) apps that manage to-do lists ranging from simple to elaborate. For example:

� 2Do: A beautifully designed app, 2Do has tons of features and high ratings�but note that if you want to sync over the air with MobileMe, you must make an extra in-app purchase of $2.99. (Guided Ways Technologies, $6.99)

� BusyToDo: Although this app currently runs only at iPhone size on an iPad, it�s the only one of these that syncs directly and wirelessly to your iCal (or BusyCal) to do list via MobileMe. (BusyCal, $4.99)

� GoTasks: This easy-to-use app syncs to-do items between your iPad and Google Tasks. (Evgeniy Shurakov, free)

� OmniFocus for iPad: Many regard this app (along with its Mac counterpart) as the ultimate Getting Things Done-style task manager�expensive, but worth it. (The Omni Group, $39.99)

� Sorted: If you want a simple, elegant, and inexpensive task manager without lots of bells and whistles, this iPad app from Si may do the trick. (Si, $0.99)

� Task PRO: Among other features, this universal app lets you divide a task into subtasks, and view or edit tasks on your computer using a Web browser. (AlifSoft, $1.99)

� TaskTask HD: This app syncs tasks with an Exchange server. (RyanGregg.com, $4.99)

� Things for iPad: This somewhat pricey but well-designed task manager syncs with the software�s Mac and iPhone/iPod touch versions. (Cultured Code, $19.99)
