Alex

We use 5pm (http://www.5pmweb.com) for project management, but Gmail is our email client of choice. 5pm can creater tasks from emails, but I can see how PM apps will start to synhronizing tasks with Gmail Tasks.

Indeed, that would be very usefull. I bet we will see more of this in the new year.

They picked the right time though with Sandy going the way of the dodo.
