Just was reading Getting Things Done, and decided to finally us my Outlook rather than a paper notebook for to do's. And, naturally, I want to sync to my iPhone. Like the vast majority in business, I use Outlook. I read these glowing posts about the cutesy app Toodledo and bought it, only to find that the Toodledo company screws and strands their customer. I am a technical person with has an iphone so I DON'T have to waste time on this part of my life technically. After installing, I assume from article above (I did not read it carefully enough apparently), that it was easy and seemless to sync Outlook to Toodledo to Iphone. NO. I read Tooldledo's help, which says: "Syncing Outlook to your iPhone requires a two step setup process. You'll need to setup both the iPhone and Outlook to sync with this website. Toodledo.com acts as the hub or middleman. ... 2) Syncing Outlook to Toodledo.com This step requires a third-party tool. ... Keep in mind that these are third-party tools and we cannot support them. ..." WHAT!? So I go to these apps. Some force Java install and ALL of them want to charge you more than Toodledo itself did?! This is crap. Can someone recommend an iPhone app that is: 1. Simply to install and syncing EFFORTLESSLY WITH OUTLOOK 2. Does not have to have fancy bells and whistles for the Time Mgmt obsessed. In fact, it might be best if it just mimics how Outlook does it! SHAME on Apple for not automatically syncing Outlook tasks SHAME on Toodledoo for building a pretty road to the edge of a chasm and then saying "sorry, we're to lazy to finish the job and build a bridge... I *think* there may be a rickety old rope and plank bridge up that way, but we don't support it and oh, its guarded by toll collectors." E I am angry.

Just bought iPhone 4 in process of syncing with Outlook 2003 tasks and came upon your site recommending Toodledo.com/Toodledo (in Section 4). However, it seems that Chromatic Dragon & the Toodledo Sync application is no being longer supported and to consider Appigo Sync, Captera Organizer or GSyncit instead. Is Chromatic Dragon a requirement for syncing tasks between Outlook and Toddledo? Hard to keep up with all the changes & what's currently current! Any suggestions as to what to do if starting from scratch now? Or am I just being blonde? Thanks! Thanks for the information.

Some of my calendar and task entries are confidential and I won't use external services for the synchronisation. That is, when I sync my calendar entries I just connect my iPhone to the PC with the cable provided with the iPhone. Can't this be done with the Outlook task syncrhonisation?

It is worth noting that the toodleo to do list from the iTunes store is 'on sale' at the time of this posting for only $0.99. A bargain!
