1 - Time/Date reminder;
2 - Quick add;
3 - Categories;
4 - Views by place or dates;
5 - LBS reminder;
6 - Search.

An use case would be:

If you need milk and you are passing by a supermarket it reminds you to buy the milk


Any other ideas?

We will use as a base the Mtodo and try to add the features listed above. We want as well to save personal locations in a map, does someone has any experience handling maps in maemo? We thought we could use google maps with python(but have no clue how to do so) and get the GPS information to use the LBS.

any help or suggestion is welcome


cheers
I would like to have best sides of TODOs of Psion 3, 3a, 3c, 3mx, 5mx and Nokia 9500, PalmOS, Projekt (Symbian 60) and added with some good point's from project management programs.

- categories is very important and if you could do them with two options simple add (quick add) and more detailed add. Shopping list doesn't need so many things to be added but some other would need

- GOOD SEARCH is always critical

- views by place or date would be very nice

Sometimes when you are at work or at home and you know that you will have many to do categories taken into action it would be nice to put them into some kind of "critical" order. If todo application could ask you "Which is most important task or category from these three?" and would do that as long as it would know which is the most important. First you should of course select those categories, then do the order. This should not affect to any todo's in the categories and how they are ordered in there.

There should also be some kind of "how many hours to deadline".

If you could put some kind of estimates how much each categorie or task is taking time it could help your time management. You could also see how many reserved hour you have and would it take a week or one hour to finnish them.
