Is there any software written specifically for David Allen's GTD System, besides the Outlook addin that The David Allen Company offers?
 
Sure, sort of . . .

The program Note Studio is a desktop and palm wiki design for general note taking. A set of templates are available that implement GTD.

I just starting using it, and like it so far. Easy to update and maintain, and highly customizable. I do still use the vanilla Palm calendar and contacts. You can do both of these within Note Studio but there are limitations. The calendar is not a true calendar with multiviews. The contacts in Note Studio (called People) is great for keeping notes on conversations with people and I will probable add some frequently called people to it.
 
Recently, I've been using Outlook for pretty much everything, with a Palm for portable info. As you'd expect, I use Tasks for my @lists, Notes for all my lists (with one file named Inbox for quick notes), and the Calendar for recording day specific actions. I also use the Contacts but that's more from using it in Outlook for email. For me, it's been working great. I've spent less time updating/synchronizing between Outlook and a planner and been better able to adjust to new situations. It's currently fitting my lifestyle.
 
There is a web application here call Tracks which is supposed to be a GTD application.

I haven't actually used it yet because I'm just reading GTD now. I just happened to hear of it because it is written in a web-application framework called Rails that I use in my job.
 
Tablet GTD

For those of you with a tablet PC, there's a bit of software called Tablet GTD.

Would be inters td to hear if anyone else has tried the software

I played around some time with TabletGtD. I've been very enthusiastic in the beginning. I even sent two lengthy emails to googy with bug reports and questions. I have never got any response apart of a short notice. The trial time is very short. Nothing lese happened. Due to these two reasons I uninstalled it. It looked very promising to me, but didn't keep it promises.

Your mileage may vary
