As a registered user , I am very interested TR and I would appreciate an Android version for my Samsung Galaxy I7500.

I hope an Android version is coming quickly.

Thank you.

Hi Jeremy and Claire

Hope you enjoyed your vacation - welcome back!

Hopefully the app is still on track for the end of the month. In the meantime, I've been thinking about ways in which this could be automated using a fantastic tool for Android called Tasker:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/tasker/net.dinglisch.android.taskermr
http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-applications/66195-what-have-you-done-tasker.html

For those not yet familiar with Tasker take a look at the links above, amongst many other things, it allows you to set up tasks based on both time and location, the latter based on either cell mast or specific wifi network proximity. Which got me thinking...

What if Tasker and TR could do the following:

1. Launch TR at a set time each day to display the current actions
2. Launch TR @phone context when away from your office location or at a set time each day when you want to clear down any calls
3. Similar to 2, @errands could launch when away from office/home location
4. Slightly more ambitious.... TR @agenda could launch if a call is made or received to or from a contact with an @agenda action pending

Obviously everyone's TR configuration is likely to be different, but maybe it could work based on a numbered system for contexts e.g. context1, context2 etc where users can set which number context relates to @phone or @errand and so on.

There have been other apps that have integrated with Tasker, Screebl is one I know of for certain and the developer appears to be up for collaboration. If integration itself were not possible, how about borrowing a trick from Pocket Informant (Windows Mobile edition) which allowed different launch screens to be configured, almost as separate exe files. So an app for context1 (@phone) could be triggered to launch when Tasker detects that the appropriate conditions have been met.

I am not aware of any other GTD app on Android that comes close to any of the above and even for more basic GTD functionality am struggling to find a good fit for my system. I look forward to the first release of the TR app and hope that some of the ideas here may prove useful in its further development.

Thanks as ever for all of the good work with TR

Stuart

PS I am not affiliated in any way with Tasker - it is just a great app!

Just picked up Tasker the other week and keep finding useful ways of using it. Your suggestions would be awesome features.

Hi Jeremy and Claire

If development is still on track, hopefully you're close to needing some beta testers for the app. Please let me know if you need any help ;)

All the best

Stuart

PS Trying hard not to be swayed by the current wave of GTD tools, including producteev and Springpad. OK - not having to try too hard as TR still stands head and shoulders above the rest, but I understand that a producteev Android app is entering beta testing imminently. IT occurs to me that this may prove a tipping point for Android users that have yet to discover TR - but I'm sure you've got your eye on the ball re the commercial opportunities of getting TR to the Android market.
