for over a year on the Palm platform. I've looked at the iphone app
and it has basically retained the same functionality and balance
algorithms. While I think it can be effective for a moderately
uncomplicated GTD setup with <100 tasks, the "Balance" algorithms
would be pretty tough to set up for a complex job environenment with >
400 tasks. It requires a lot of fiddling with the importance sliders
to get it set the way you want and it doesn't handle on the fly
changes in situations well. I'm not meaning to be critical of LB as I
think it can be used effectively but it requires a somewhat different
mindset than GTD It's also pretty pricey compared to ToDo and/or
Toodledo. Actually Toodledo has a limited version of "Deciding for
you" that employs some rudimentary calculations based on priority,
starring and due date
