The APIs are restful, client libraries are provided for .NET, PHP, Python, Ruby and Java.

Took long enough, there are already so many competing task managers with more features on the market. Will we see collaborative task lists? I'd like to see them in the same way that Google Calendars are sharable, that would be the killer feature.

Honestly the GTasks app for Android (which was written before the API) is the only reason I use GTasks.

Bummer. I've been enjoying my competition-free life for the last 18 month since I've launched my iPhone app GeeTasks, but this was not meant to last, it seems.

How did the android apps that are in the market get my task lists without the api?

Wow, you made GeeTasks? Thanks for the killer app man, better than all the rest in the AppStore by far imo. I love the offline feature and the quick and easy sync.

My only gripe with it is the icon/logo of the app. A little garishly and too-brightly colored. Amazing app otherwise.

Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for that app. It's been tremendously useful for me for a year or so now.

Taskforce does collaborative tasks really well. It's already integrated tightly into gmail. Soon I think they'll have gcal integration and phone apps.

Mavenlink.com just rolled out task integration using the Google Tasks API and it was pretty straight forward to build.
