I have been searching for the same thing and have tried several different solutions. Firstly, the tasks app that is built in is very poorly executed in my opinion. Something like a todo list should not require tons of screens and options. I always like the edit-in-place on the Palm for this.
I'm currently demoing the following two apps:
TreNotes - this one has a tool bar for editing in place. It has options for Wm5menus, and has many features that are beyond the Palm todo list, like trees, progress bar instead of checkbox on items, alarms, etc. But there are several downsides so far as well:
- Each list is stored as a file and I believe the file is only saved when you OK out of the list. I have not verified, but unless there is an autosave, you may lose items if you have a reset while the changes made. Still checking on this.
- There is no menu button or shortcut I'm aware of to add a new item using the edit-in-place toolbar. You have to tap this small icon on the screen.
- The drag and drop reordering (an awesome feature in theory!) is a little awkward for me at this point. Not working the way I'd expect it.
With this app, I'm finding I don't really need the built in priorities, just use top level items to group things as priority so I don't have to edit the record as much.
The other I'm just trying now is Pocket Informant- their tasks support looks a bit like the Palm screen. Seems to have a bunch of options and the app is a bit overwhelming due to it's breadth. But I will try it and see if it's worth the learning curve.
Anyone have anything else they like? As a developer, I've long mulled creating a no frills todo list that matched the basic and intuitive functionality of the Palm todo list. But I wonder how many people even would use it!
