Sync Todo with Android/iPhone

I want to sync a todo list from my Android phone to my girlfriend's iPhone.
How can I do this? If not a list.. maybe just some sort of note app.
Thanks!

We use 2 paid Remember the Milk accounts to handle all of our shared to do lists.

Response by poster: Evernote seems cool. Might be just too much for what we want though.
Is it possible to use one RTM account or would we need two? Thank you!

Remember The Milk sounds like the thing.
You could also find an app that syncs over Simplenote or over Dropbox and use that. Or just use a Google Docs document.

This may be too low-tech / too free-text, but my global to-do list is a text document synced via Dropbox that looks like this:
To Do:
1. Acquire pie
2. Eat pie
Done:
Read Metafilter while at work
Run 5 miles to deserve pie
If you both install Dropbox on your phones and sync it to the same Dropbox account, you will always have a shared list. The beauty is you can now edit this list from anywhere - Windows PC, Mac, Linux, iOS devices, Android devices.

Ooh, I also like Magnakai's Google Docs idea. It has great UI for both smartphones and desktops, and it will tell you if someone else is editing the document, which is a potential problem with my Dropbox idea.

I use Google Docs to sync a "freezer inventory" (spreadsheet) and shopping list with my boyfriend. It is on my Google acct, but it is shared with him such that he can edit.

Dropbox is awesome, but you can't edit within it, from the iPhone at least. Just got excited and tested it.

Best answer: This is exactly what wunderlist does. They just released their iphone and android apps. Works like a charm.

Response by poster: Thanks everybody.
I'm looking for the simplest thing possible to keep it easy for her. I think wunderlist is the winner. Trying it out now.

OOhhh. I can't wait to look at that app. I was coming in to say OurGroceries - my boyfriend and I have been using it a while, and like it, but now I may suggest switching.

There are now many ways to directly edit text files stored on Dropbox using an iPhone.
A dead simple way, which I highly recommend, is Nebulous (your choice of free version with annoying ads or $2 version with no ads). Nebulous will directly edit existing text files, create text new files, and even create new folders in your Dropbox acct.

Another service is Toodledo, which is what I use. There's an iPhone app, mobile site, web site, browser add-ons, heaps of ways to interact with your list...
