I have made a decision about a to-do app for my iPhone. I trialled, then purchased Appigo Todo for $12.99.
It has enough features to help me remember to do the things I need to do. It syncs to a ToodleDo account I created but not yet to anything else. That’s OK because I intend to use the iPhone as my organiser.
The iPhone is famous for its on-screen keyboard, a world away from the limited keyboard of a classic mobile phone like the Nokia N95.
I’m still getting used to the iPhone’s virtual QWERTY and my accuracy is improving, especially learning which part of my thumbs touch the keyboard.
iPhone also has decent typography. It displays a wide range of characters and many can be entered using the virtual keyboard.
While the N95 can display ‘curly’ quotes, they are ugly (see below). There is also no way to enter them using the phone. I care about such things.
I’m loving my iPhone so far. It partners very well with my Mac (naturally).
But I’m amazed that it has no native to-do list as part of the Calendar app. iCal on the Mac does and I assumed that the iPhone would follow suit.
I’m trialling Appigo To Do Lite (free) and find it good so far.
Last Saturday I finally got an iPhone. I had been thinking about it for a while but decided to wait until the 3rd generation was released before making the jump.
I had lived with a Nokia N95 for a couple of years and was disappointed with it as a mobile application platform. I found it slow to do many things and the keyboard too limited to be practical.
I wanted to blog about it from the phone itself but couldn’t get blogging software to work. So I’ll try that for/from the iPhone, starting now.
