And another app lets me call in tasks to my GTD without any writing or typing, great for those thoughts that hit me while driving. I've written about my experiences with GTD in a blog post at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/more-getting-things-done/ John I use a GTD that allows me to view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone.

That was the first GTD type app that I tried out, and for a while thought it was the one I'd stick with. But when the dust settled, I went back to OmniFocus. You're right though - $100 for the iPhone app and for the desktop is a bit hefty. But for me, it's the one system that works exactly how I want it to. I can automatically pull basecamp emails out of my inbox, assign a context, and sort thru those a few times a day to make sure I never miss a thing. The sync issue is just killing me right now. Remember the Milk is very simple and clean, but it just doesn't do things the way I want, or are accustomed to. Yeah, Things is a nice app, to be sure.

It's not truly comparable as for feature to feature, but it works for me perfectly with it being more laid back and less 'structured'.
