[appigo-todo] Re: My features wish-list (sub-tasks in lists view, task status and integrated calendar)

100% agreement on the first 2 but if I'm forced to look at a combined
calendar/task list (I used several apps that do this on the Palm and
Pocket PC including PI - there simply is not enough screen real estate
to do this really well), I'd leave ToDo in a heartbeat. Having said
that, if the Calendar/Task or Calendar was a completely separate View
that I could ignore or better yet disable, I could live with it as I
still think ToDo is the best GTD app available with web syncing for
the iphone right now
