Ta-Da List

One critical application that is missing from the iPhone is a proper to do list. Fortunately, there are a bunch of web applications that somewhat solve this issue. The one I have been using recently is Ta-Da List provided by 37 Signals. The service is free and easy to setup. Here are a couple screen shots of the web application running within my Firefox browser:

The first image is a view of all my lists and the second image is a view of my buy list. The interface changes slightly when viewed via the Safari web browser on my iPhone:

The first image is a view of all my lists, the second image is a view of my buy list, and the third image is a view of buy list item being edited. As you can see the interface changes slightly but not by much. The design is simple and the features are basic but that is all I am shooting for at the moment.

While the Ta-Da List web application is not optimal it will get me by until more interesting apps come along like Mail 3.0 and OmniFocus.

Tip: A web application is essentially worthless when you loose internet connectivity. I recommend loading up information from each of your favorite web applications on a separate Safari page on your iPhone before leaving an area where you have connectivity. Later you can view the information from cache (memory) without needing an internet connection.
