Hello, First, i want to thank you for your incredible concern and rich response. I'm felling very flattered that you and the other guys/girls took some time to talk to me.
I didn't know that the app for android could do more. You described a nice way to add tasks and bring me back to a temptation that i have from time to time: switch to the android plataform -- the main point is probably Itunes. But i am a old user of iphone and ipad, and my wife came aboard to iphone and ipad too last year. I have some money invested in apps along the years and now shared by both of us. I dread to search and buy all that apps again and lose the benefits to have all the family with the same mobile plataform.
