Can one enter the tasks on the desktop and then have it sync to one’s iPhone? If so how is formatted on the desktop? If this app can not do this, is there one that can?

This is so cool, even though I’ve only found out about it now :)

Are you stupid? That’s not synchronisation, it’s a web application.

The problem is that Google will NEVER make Tasks sync available because they have decided to try to wedge some half-assed project management features like due dates and nested lists, into the interface of a normal todo list, and now they are caught between their own hubris and incompatiblity with ActiveSync, SyncML, iCal, Outlook, Thunderbird, Chandler, etc, etc. Which rules out pretty much all cellphones and desktop clients.

I would have thought the course of action was rather obvious but Google seem to be struggling with the decision.

Apple sucks, why can’t they just integrate an app for tasks?

google assumes everyone is connected all of the time, which of course they aren't. I'm giving geetasks a try, as that seems to be exactly what I need - task lists available when I'm not in cellphone coverage.

Why doesn’t this not work on the Ipad? When you try to access tasks from the Ipad it redirects to a help screen. http://mail.google.com/mail/help/tasks/

@Michael: get this app called geetasks if you want offline Google Tasks access on your iPhone and syncing when you're connected again. This Guy Denis who mentioned it before wrote the thing afaik, but I purchased it and I've got to say it's perfect for what it does.

Right you are Michael. I want to enter a task on my Ipod Touch when I’m off line quite often. I can create mail and add contacts and these sync when I get to a wireless connection; not so with Tasks.

Google People – please help.

I would also very need it to SYNC tasks between Google Tasks whitch I use all the time in my work together with Gmail, GCalendar, GWebsites, GDocs, etc., but when I’m offline I cant see my Tasks on my iPhone and Mac ..to write some tasks in my Calendar isn’t the write way.

I’m also sorry, that Google tasks has no PRIORITYs.

Help us Google, we love you :o))

I am so thrilled!!! This is simply perfect. I wish Google would add a feature to the Tasks so that you could have a Main Folder for a Given Task and then be able to add individual tasts inside this Given Tasks – Example: Monday Errands (a folder), then inside this folder the individual tasks of 1)pick up laundry, 2) make deposit, 3) get car detailed, etc. Then you could have a Tuesday folder for that days tasks or a Folder called “Books I Need To Read” and inside that folder a list of each book.
