iPod App review: Productivity apps

Up until today I've been using AwesomeNote as my primary note-taking/to-do list app. One of the things that makes AwesomeNote less awesome is the lack of a prioritisation system. So it's largely up to the user to remember which tasks have precedence over others - this is not helpful for those of us with poor memories. As a note-taking app, AwesomeNote doesn't really deserve to be called as such. Sure, you can get a preview of your existing notes (as thumbnails). But the font is so tiny (in the thumbnails), you'd struggle to make out which notes were which.

A while ago, I downloaded EverNote, as it was free. I had to have an account to be able to use it, so I ended up deleting it. A few weeks ago, I signed up for an account with EverNote (I finally found out that signup is free). I find that the layout is a lot more readable than AwesomeNote.

As for my new to-do list app? I picked Todo. When it came to picking out the new one, I relied heavily on other users' reviews. Todo had a 4 star rating compared to AwesomeNote's 3 stars. After downloading it, I found the ratings to be quite an accurate reflection of Todo's "awesomeness". (note the irony...)

Poor AwesomeNote... guess you're heading for the recycling bin...

My shiny new PDA (iPod Touch)

Thanks to some helpful reviews by fellow iPod Touch/iPhone users, I was able to turn my iPod Touch into a PDA.

Me and my iPod Touch

I recently purchased an iPod Touch from DSE on George St. I partly wanted to have a decent MP3 player for a change and partly wanted to not stick out like a sore thumb in the office with my Nokia E71. My favourite aspect of the iPod Touch is the variety of applications available. Top app? iXpenseIt. As for my least favourite aspect.... lemme see.... I can't really think of any.
