Hi Lisa: I agree with much of what MH is saying. Or let's put it this way, my experience is similar. I have an Samsung Infuse and which is snappy with most apps. Interestingly enough, I also come from having used Bonsai with Palm, as well as Ecco with Windows 95 (that's eons ago).
With the Android version of MLO, here's what I'm noticing: 1. No To-Do views 2. Pulling up tasks by Context is very slow. Not really practical to use. Neither is deal killer, as I have many things I use MLO for on my Android which do not require Context or To-Do views. TO MH: I do have somewhat of a workaround. While I normally use Context, if there are tasks I want to use focus on, on my Android, I use Stars. When you Star tasks, they seem to come up really fast in Android.
