Hello Joel,

The iOS version of MLO gives a schedule view (accessed by the little stopwatch 
icon, just under the inbox). This gives a list of events for the day, above a 
list of tasks. It also shows a timeline, showing you what times of the day are 
blocked out, and a chart to show you the total numbers of items on upcoming 
days. It's not quite the drag-and-drop task scheduler that some might want, but 
it helps.

On the desktop, you can synch tasks with Outlook (older versions of Outlook, or 
the latest version if you make an edit to Outlook's settings in the Registry), 
then have the task pane visible at the bottom of your weekly calendar view. 
Again, that falls quite far short of a task scheduler, but it might help.  The 
other option is to look at a grouped-by-date task view alongside your favourite 
calendar app.

It's amazing how few apps out there do task scheduling.  If you use a Mac, then 
Things has recently introduced task drag and drop scheduling, or OmniFocus 
might do it, but for us Windows users there's nothing. As far as I know, no 
time management apps allow us to differentiate between due date and scheduled 
date (two very different things). I used to be trialling Timeful, but that got 
swallowed up by Google and since then they haven't incorporated it's innovative 
scheduling functionality into any of their apps.

This would be a good way for MLO to get ahead of the crowd, but it would need 
compatibility with more than just Google calendar. For, it would need to be 
able to work with all my iOS calendars and Exchange server - a step too far, 
perhaps?

Stéphane
