I am getting really frustrated trying to find a GTD software solution that fits well with both Windows and Pocket PC.
Everything I seem to try has some sort of drawback that I think I can initially live with, but then find that I can't.
Listpro, OK on Windows, but then has no text wrap on the Pocket PC screen which is irritating the hell out of me, scrolling back and forth to review all of the action text. It doesn't sync only copies the entire file, already once overwrote the file with old data! Plus fonts are a problem, either too big on the Pocket PC or too small in Windows.
ACT, syncs OK with Pocket PC and then via ACT groups (set as context) I can see things in Pocket Informant under context. But still looks like a daily ToDo list on the PC, everything has to be dated and associated with a contact. New actions created in Pocket Informant will sync back but not attached to the correct contact.
MyLife Organised, like it but no sync to Pocket PC (only through Outlook). Although Pocket PC edition planned, so it might be a future option!
TreNotes, looks promising but have to append project title to all of the text because it only has one category field which I have used as Context. So when filtering on Category/Context unless I add the Project title it is not always easy to determine what the Next Action relates to, but one of the better options.
Outlook, just don't like Outlook and never have!! Though might be a solution... I wish it wasn't. As far as I am concerned it would be a very last resort.
The best solution I have found so far is ACT for Next Actions and Listpro just to detail projects. But I can't believe there isn't a better solution out there !!
There must be a piece of software that can give me multiple lists, works on Windows and Pocket PC, that syncs not copies and has all the functionality to create a Project and Context field. Not forgetting that it wraps the text on Pocket PC so I can read it!
Please somebody tell me there is an easy solution !!!
