What I need to see in a ToDo application:

Web interface, something like the one Google Tasks maintaining, it’s very simple and accessible one.

Smart Phone integration: By smart phone I’m referring to Android, iPhone mainly but I would also love to see integration with BlackBerry, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and all other smart phones.

Reminder: This one of the most important feature about a todo. Certain ToDos has milestones and deadlines; Technically speaking, your life is a project.

Desktop Sticky notes integration: Synchronised on the fly. This is a great addition for a quick look on what you have to do next and what’s remaining.

I can’t say I’m not happy with Google Tasks, Calendar and its reliable SMS reminder but I’m just in need for more integration between the applications.

At some point I thought of using a project management application to run my life but it was too much for my busy and complicated life, I think I just need a simple form of project management application in a ToDos application presentation.

What’s your favourite ToDos application?

The new features are awesome, especially the Collections & PDF Zoom; however the other new features like Twitter & Facebook and Popular highlights may push them to charge for wireless connectivity, people are just crazy when it comes to social networking.

The features included in this update are:

  • Collections

    • I love this feature because I have about 103 books of different flavour. Technical, Political, Textbooks, Travel, References and Novels! one thing I hated about the previous version is that I had jump from page into another to get the book I wanted to read. Now, I can just sort them into Collections and make my life easier, especially when my Kindle library is growing faster than I thought as I’m reading more now.

  • Facebook & Twitter Posts

    • I don’t see the use of such feature in a Reading device, albeit I’m sure many people will just love it; but let’s see, maybe I would want to share a quote on twitter or facebook.

  • Password Protection

    • I purely use Kindle for reading books and never loaded any personal document into it but this is definitely a good addition especially to those who have personal documents on Kindle
    Password protect your Kindle when you’re not using it

  • Popular Highlights

    • This is an interesting and useful one, it may get your attention to a page you skipped or something from different perspective but all depends on the user generated content, hopefully we will have smart users.

  • PDF Pan and Zoom

    • Zoom into PDFs and pan around to easily view small print and detailed tables or graphics

  • More Font Sizes & Improved Clarity

    • Enjoy two new larger font sizes and sharper fonts for an even more comfortable reading experience

Enough talking and let me now enjoy my newly updated Kindle 2.

One of the things that I hate most about International shipments is speed, but now with Boxoh.com it’s interesting as I get to watch the package moving on Google Maps until it gets to my door (Not precisely as it’s going to a friend who’s flying to Jordan one day after the delivery) .

One got to love the beauty of mashed up service!

Year ago, I bought my iPhone 3G 16GB for 199 JOD ($281) with one year commitment which I don’t have a problem with since I never changed my mobile provider ever since I got a mobile number.
Week ago, I sold my iPhone for 290 JOD ($409) that means I made 91 JOD ($128) in a year of using iPhone, add to that the 75 JOD (105) loyalty points that I made too! In short, my iPhone costed me 33 JOD ($44).

Once I sold it, I added 70 JOD ($100) and purchased Google Nexus One phone. Now, Will Google Nexus One compete with that?
