I used to be mostly pen and paper for capture and on-the-go lists, with a little bit of RememberTheMilk for larger lists (like the GTD someday/maybe lists, etc).

Now that I've got my Nexus One, I'm using Shuffle (http://code.google.com/p/android-shuffle/). Although I still haven't migrated everything out of RTM.

Gootodo (now called Goodtodo) is the best solution I've found. It's simple, without categories, tags or priorities (other than sorting by position). The differentiators for me are: calendar-based to-dos. I can create a to-do that I don't actually need to act on until next week, and it won't show up until then.

Also, awesome email integration, where I can forward an email to, for example, apr14@gootodo.com, and the body of the email will be attached to a to-do that shows up on that date. This is a fantastic way to get in the habit of emptying your inbox as well. Things you have to do don't linger there, you just forward them to your to-do list.

Simple and elegant, and more than worth the $3/mo I pay for it.

The simplest, easiest to use online ToDo app is Google Tasks. You can access it using small window in Gmail (look for "tasks" on the left-hand side) or full-screen ( https://mail.google.com/tasks/canvas ) or on the iPhone/Android ( https://mail.google.com/tasks/ig ) I have also wrote a native iPhone app client for Google Tasks so that you can use it offline http://www.geetasks.com

Wow, great job man. I've been looking for something like this for a LONG time. Downloaded and tried it out with the lists I already have in there, and great stuff.

Happy users carry me through the day of work.

I'm so not missing my corporate job.

BTW, I have forums over at http://geetasks.com, stop by to say "hi"!

Thanks for the suggestions everybody. For now, I decided to go with Google Tasks. It's very barebones and simple, but it's just what I was looking for and they even have an iPhone-optimized version (I will also look into GeeTasks).

Be sure to let me know what you think of GeeTasks, as can be seen at my forum http://geetasks.com I always answer all inquiries.

I went ahead and purchased the Pro version this morning. Really nice and works great. I didn't like how you couldn't indent tasks on the iPhone web version, but GeeTasks does it. :)

Well, there's a reason people are paying those huge bucks for GeeTasks :-)
