Count me in. For me, there's no question that Todo is the best iphone app. But I don't live completely on the iphone; if I have access to a full keyboard, then I'm usually setting things up that way. Having a desktop app that synced with an online service would be pretty great. I'm a mac user, for what it's worth.
Above all, however, I agree with Anna above: it absolutely MUST offer OTA synchronization, and not this wifi business. That's just too restrictive, and if that was the case I wouldn't purchase. Not trying to be difficult, just honest. Anyway, just wanted to cast my vote!
