Don’t forget Thinkingrock:

http://www.trgtd.com.au/

It gets good reviews over at Lifehacker, is free, uses java, and “The app also stores all its data in a transparent XML file for easy-peasy thumb drive access, which – in a cross-platform word – rocks. ThinkingRock is a free download, versions available for Mac, PC and Linux.”

They are developing an iphone app that will sync with the iphone/ipod touch. Only drawback as far as I can tell is the interface isn’t the prettiest. It is very easy to use though.

For me, the biggest problem is that emails that need a reply get lost in the shuffle. Sometimes, I respond at the moment I read an email, but more often, I say to myself, "Oh, I'll get back to it," and then I forget I ever received that email. If you're using Apple's Mail.app (like I am), there's a good article at Mac Guru Lounge on how to set up smart folders to track messages you need to reply to. This has greatly improved my workflow.

I got sick of using a to-do list that isn’t what i want. so i did the next best thing which is to code it myself!

Hope i get the chance to share it with all of you in the future.

But the strong point of all apple to-do list. they look great compare to the windows ones.

Wow, you forgot Evernotes. I just switched a couple of days ago from Things because Evernotes also syncs to the web, works with both windows and mac – and it even supports a free OCR service.

One really neat feature is the ability to add a note via my webcam and to have Evernotes automatically OCR scan it for me.

I have got used to SmartTime Plus. I love it’s flexibility and most importantly it’s latest version allows syncing to Google Calendar.so that solves the online web access and data backup. As a bonus, you can use free app called Calgoo Connect to sync that Google Calendar to iCal to act as your desktop app.
Yes sound messy to it works fine. :)

Life Balance from Llamagraphics is an awesome option, and they also have a great iPhone implementation.

I recently switched from OmniFocus to Things and so far, so good. I like the flexible features of OmniFocus a bit more, but syncing with the iPhone app was consistently painful – slow and sometimes timing out. Things does the job for me and the syncing is quick and easy (though I agree I’d prefer more flexibility around available networks, as you note). Can’t wait to see the official version.
