I think there are also cases for the Palm Pre and Android versions of MLO too.
I appreciate this is a very fragmented approach if supporting multiple mobile platforms for MLO but there is no clear winner yet in the the mobile market. Win Mobile - I think this platform should get continued support as there are so many devices already and Windows Mobile Version 7 , although a year off, seems to be Microsofts big push to capture market share back from Apple. Iphone - has lots of task managers already available - though only one other actually priortises your to do list (LB), the rest are very basic. "Things" is the most popular but is basic. Palm Pre - people seem impressed with the new OS, it seems to be taking off with nearly 1 million application downloads already. The advantage of getting in early I think is an argument here. Android - also seems to be taking off , with lots of handsets coming out this year. Blackberry - lots of users though many of the devices are locked down I suspect as they are in corporate use - I suspect these types of users do not buy applications online.
