Specific to-do list needs.

August 9, 2006 6:48 AM

I am looking for any online task list/calendar that meets the following criteria: 1)sync with Palm/using WinXP; 2)supports categories; 3)supports recurrence; 4)(preferably) has some way to be integrated into my Wordpress website. (Robust goal management would be a plus). I have tried Yahoo, but it does not support recurrent tasks and I find the auto-add of Y! Messenger contacts to be intrusive and annoying.

Tasks Pro is pretty close. It doesn't do a full Palm sync, but rather gives you access via a web browswer. As such, it might work if you are using a Treo, etc. It meets your other criteria.

Have you tried Google Calendar? I'm not sure it supports all those features, especially sync with Palm (although if not you can probably implement some iCal import/export hack with it), but it's worth a look.

Google Calendar doesn't yet have a sync to my knowledge (which is a shame, because I really like it.)

Airset is a web-based PIM that syncs with Palm (and Outlook, btw). Worked very well when I was using it. You can see a review from WSJ that explains the pros and cons pretty well (public page, no subscription req'd).

You can subscribe to 30Boxes with Outlook, then sync to your palm (instructions here)

30Boxes supports tags, which are like (but better than) categories.

30Boxes supports weekly/biweekly/monthly recurrances

30Boxes has a Wordpress Widget


Then there's also the fact that 30Boxes is REALLY FREAKING AWESOME, is a social-calendar, which makes it easy to see what your friends/family are doing, AND it has a todo list (not rigorous, but still.. it's a todo list and they "have big plans" for it)

if you haven't noticed, I (heart) 30Boxes

Yeah, but what do you do in the other months?

Looks like Airset is possibly the closest to what I'm looking for... possibly 30boxes. I actually don't use Outlook, but, rather, Palm Desktop..... thanks for the advice!

Now if I could just figure out where Airset hides the tasks and categories for those! LOL....any help would be muchly appreciated!
