I am on a Macbook Pro at home, with an iPhone now and they sync which is wonderful. But I am working in a PC environment and wish Things could cross over, or had a web interface. The developers at Cultured Code have been great about responding to requests though. I played around with simplegtd.com but it's a little too simple. I've been using Jello 5 for the last week but again, it lacks features I'd pay for. In XP w/Outlook 2007 I haven't found the perfect solution. But I'm sticking with Things on the Mac. Good luck!

There are a number of them that come close now, but they all lack one important feature or another. I didn't see a link to your spreadsheet on Google Docs to see your progress, but here are some items from my search in case it will help. Here are my requirements: - iPhone/iPod touch app with local data store (i.e. doesn't require net connectivity) - sync with network-based or desktop-based data store - Windows client or internet client for data entry - standard GTD functionality, with the addition of dependent tasks OmniFocus - has dependent tasks, expensive, no Windows or internet client Appigo Todo - one of the better-looking iPhone apps, doesn't have dependent tasks mylifeorganized - has dependent tasks, no iPhone app, but it is supposedly being worked on whattasks - no dependent tasks things by cultured code - no windows client Hiveminder - web-based app, has dependent tasks of a sort, doesn't have local data storage/syncing Remember the Milk, Toodledo - two other web-based apps, no local syncing, no dependent tasks tracks - web-based software. A number of sites offer hosting of a Tracks server. No local syncing, no dependent tasks. I can understand that many apps don't support iPhone since that's relatively new. But it's hard to believe that so few support dependent tasks, since almost every major GTD app has at least one long thread on their forums with requests for this. HTH, Jerry I’ve been searching for a GTD app with similar capabilities to the ones you list for over a year now. There are a number of them that come close now, but they all lack one important feature or another. I didn’t see a link to your spreadsheet on Google Docs to see your progress, but here are some items from my search in case it will help.

Here are my requirements:
- iPhone/iPod touch app with local data store (i.e. doesn’t require net connectivity)
- sync with network-based or desktop-based data store
- Windows client or internet client for data entry
- standard GTD functionality, with the addition of dependent tasks

OmniFocus – has dependent tasks, expensive, no Windows or internet client
Appigo Todo – one of the better-looking iPhone apps, doesn’t have dependent tasks
mylifeorganized – has dependent tasks, no iPhone app, but it is supposedly being worked on
whattasks – no dependent tasks
things by cultured code – no windows client
Hiveminder – web-based app, has dependent tasks of a sort, doesn’t have local data storage/syncing
Remember the Milk, Toodledo – two other web-based apps, no local syncing, no dependent tasks
tracks – web-based software. A number of sites offer hosting of a Tracks server. No local syncing, no dependent tasks.

I can understand that many apps don’t support iPhone since that’s relatively new. But it’s hard to believe that so few support dependent tasks, since almost every major GTD app has at least one long thread on their forums with requests for this.

HTH,
Jerry
