Maybe I'm just not typical (wouldn't be the first time :-) but MLO is my most-used application and the Android is where I do my real work. Something like 60% of my task captures and my task completions happen away from my laptop. Since my phone is always with me, it's present for 100% of my task captures and completions. I actually find sometimes that when I am on the laptop working between browser and word processor and I realize something I need to do, it's faster to hit the [+] icon one my phone, enter a couple of words, and hit [create] than to do it on the laptop.
I want MLO on the phone to do all the task management that I need while I am out living my life. This includes taking down to-dos while I am at a restaurant having a meal with a client, checking off that I have picked up a brochure at the printer, and checking which of my pending calls-to-make I should do next. For me, the laptop is for housekeeping and maintenance, such as archiving, sifting the dozens of new tasks in my inbox into categories and folders, fleshing out a project structure and setting complex dependencies. I understand and agree that there's more per-unit revenue in desktop apps than phone apps (I think the jury is still out on tablet app revenues.) but I think that mobile apps will be the driver that creates demand for the desktop app. The whole conversation about the limited role of phones and tablets is like a replay of the arguments I had in the 1980s with people who said desktops would never be good for anything but forms-based data entry, because mainframes have so much more power. I am in favor of continuing development of the desktop app. For people who take their hands off of the desktop keyboard from time to time, I think task management demands a mobile app and it would be a mistake to dismiss it as just a toy or a tracking tool. -Dwight -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
