(By the way, the URL for the iPhone app is http://www.appigo.com/todo) For Android I haven't found anything that is as simple to use. A lot of my friends recommend https://market.android.com/details?id=com.timsu.astrid&hl=en but I find it takes too many taps to get anything done. Plus, there is no way to drag things around to set the priority. You have to tap on the item, edit it, set a priority, taltapOK, tap tap tap.... too much taping. As far as a Personal Analog Assistant, Moleskine makes this that fits in your pocket: http://www.moleskine.com/catalogue/diariesplanners/12_month_daily/12_months__daily_planner__black_soft_cover__pocket.php > Also...

Anyone have any ideas > on this? I do 2 things: 1. Don't write every ticket in my todo list. I just list "1 hour of ticket time" to block out that much time. 2. For major tickets, I do put them in my todo list. I just write a few words not the ticket #. (Like "install joe's new machine"). If I need the ticket number, I can click my ticket system's "show me just my tickets" button and it should show up. I would like a system that integrates with the ticket system. Sadly no ticket system has enough market share to make an app vendor want to do it.
