I should be getting my first iPhone in a few days, and I'm doing a bit of research on what apps should be first on my homescreen.
One big reason I'm finally getting an iPhone is to finally be able to ditch the tiny 2" x 3" notebook (yes, an actual spiral notebook with real paper!) I've been using to take quick notes, to do lists, etc. for years.
After running into the awesome 43folders website (great site about personal productivity, absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone), I've gotten into using iGTD on my Mac. If you don't know, iGTD is a an incredible, and free, little app for organizing tasks. I haven't read the original, classic, book, Getting Things Done, but I've completely bought into the principle. I'll never go back to making to do lists in word docs or text edit.
Unfortunately, the developer of iGTD has stopped work on it, and moved to the company that makes Things (guessing many of you have heard of it). It looks great, and there's an iOS app to make syncing super easy, but I'm wondering if there's a decent alternative that can save me the $60 it would cost to buy both apps.
Smooth syncing btw. Snow Leopard and the iPhone is of course of paramount importance.
thanks!
Edit:
I see that some apps in this category rely on putting your info in the cloud as the syncing solution. I'm pretty sure I'd prefer something that at least keeps a copy on my phone, so that I don't have to wait for my data to download over the network everytime I want to check my to do lists.
