I have to disagree with ProductAnalist, at least partially, but of course this is just my opinion.
I went back to a video of version 1 to recall how setting the due date looked. There was a list on the screen with No Date at the top followed by Today, Tomorrow, the names of the next 5 days as individual entries, In One Week, and Other Date. Unless it was checked, Other Date was below the screen and you had to scroll to get to it. Once you tapped Other Date, you got a calendar scroll wheel that made it easy to set any date. With 2.0.1, you get a calendar with the month showing your due date so it's easy to move to a new date around the original. There are Today, Tomorrow, Next Week, and None buttons at the bottom which are the most common requirements if you're not on the current month. There's also a Go To Today button at the top to get to today's month quickly. There are often tasks I want at the top so they're obvious (staring me in the face). my trick is to make them Overdue. To do that I date them as due yesterday. With version 1.0, I had to first scroll to the Other Date entry, tap it, and wheel to yesterday. Now I simply tap yesterday on the calendar and I'm done. There are two issues with the calendar date picking in my opinion. First I still think that if the date shows that you should be able to pick it. So if I'm looking at May 2009, I also see April 26-30 and June 1-6. If I tap June 1, instead of picking June 1, the calendar moves to June and I have to tap June 1 again to select it. This one, to me, is counter-intuitive. If I want a new month, I use the month arrows beside the month name. Second, and here I agree with ProductAnalist, not having the date scroll wheels makes picking a date in a number of months or next year a pain. My suggestion is to popup the date scroll wheel when you tap the month name. That way you could easily select any date in any year. Put a little down arrow beside the month-year so that it's apparent. As far as the "excessive organizational means", use them or not as you wish. If you don't need them, you can simply have a task list in your Inbox. No need to use lists, tags, contexts, colors, etc. But they're there if you need them. And notice that they're not intrusive. When creating a task, there's no requirement for any of these. As always, just my 0.02 worth.
