Task2Gather Now On Windows Mobile

I have been a fan of Vito’s new online task manager, Tas2Gather, for about 5 months or so; ever since they were kind enough to give me an advance look at the beta version.  Since then, a lot has changed in the program, as Vito continued to refine the interface.  Two things have remained constant, however: the unique hierarchical view, which allows you to quickly and easily organize tasks and sub-tasks; and the ability to share your lists with your team members.

Although the iPhone version of the program was released several months ago, Vito took some additional time to refine the Windows Mobile version, which they released earlier this week.  With this release, you can now access your Task2Gather account from any computer, iPhone/iPod Touch, or Windows Mobile device.  Watch for my review of all three versions coming soon in November.  And hit the jump to see the full press release.

Vito Releases Task2Gather Web Application. Windows Mobile and iPhone Apps to Follow Soon

Several weeks ago, I wrote about the technology preview of a new web based task manager, Task2Gather, from Vito Technology/iWindows Mobile.  Today, Vito has announced the official release of their new application, and it looks even better than what I saw in the technology preview. 

Task2Gather is a Cloud based application, meaning that all of the information you input will be stored online, not on your computer.  Unlike most web-based task managers, Task2Gather is not laid out with a traditional list of tasks.  Instead, it utilizes a hierarchical, tree-based list of tasks.  In other words, you will organize your tasks by project or category, meaning similar tasks will be grouped together.

Task2 Gather was designed around several guiding principles, including: simplicity, high performance, sharing, flexibility and mobility. The result is a completely unique task manager, which can be accessed from any computer, anywhere in the world.  

Just head over to www.task2gather.com to sign up for your free account and get started today, or you can read the full press release first.  Windows Mobile and iPhone users will be happy to know that mobile versions will be coming soon.  Watch for a full review in this space soon.

Review: Winterface

For roughly the past year, there has been a raging debate between iPhone users and Windows Mobile users about which platform is better.  In my opinion, there are pros and cons of both, however, I have been extremely interested in watching the debate rage ever forward.  The most fascinating offshoot to me is the way in which the mere presence of the iPhone has forced Windows Mobile and Windows Mobile developers to make drastic changes and improvements, almost overnight.  I am convinced that without the iPhone, there would be no HTC Touch Pro, and the upcoming release of Windows Mobile 7 would be significantly different.

Similarly, without the iPhone, it is highly unlikely that the growing mobile shell genre would have taken off the way it did.  Programs like Spb Mobile Shell, PointUI, and others, now completely replace the outdated and outmoded Today Screen interface with a finger-friendly interface which completely takes over your device, giving you access to all of your necessary applications and information.  The latest offering in this rapidly rowing genre comes from Vito Technology’s iWindows Mobile line.  Vito has done an amazing job of implementing the lessons of the iPhone with the other products in the iWindows Mobile line.

One of the things I like is that iWindows Mobile does not try to turn your Windows Mobile device into an iPhone.  Instead, it takes the best features of the iPhone and employes them in crafting slim, sleek, easy to use, and finger friendly programs.  Not only does their latest offering, Winterface, fit into this concept, it may just be the best one to come out of the iWindows Mobile studios to date.  Hit the jump for a closer look at how Winterface will revolutionize your Windows Mobile interface.
