Recently I discovered a nifty little iPhone / iPod app that simply keeps ToDo lists. It's called 2do, and it's well worth checking out (there's a free lite version too).

Plainly put, it's one of the most flexible todo apps I've seen for Apple's iPhone/iPod platforms. Configure it however you like. If you follow the Getting Things Done system, you'll feel right at home. Here's a quick look some of my favourite parts of the extensive feature list.

• Tabbed Calendars
  Group related ToDos under their respective calendars.
• Toodledo Sync
  Keep 2Do synced with your Toodledo account online.
• ToDo Sharing
  Share ToDos, projects and checklists with anyone by email.
• Customization
  Themes, Alert sounds, Layouts and Counts .. You name it
• iCal & Outlook Sync
  keep 2Do synced with your Mac or PC over Wi-Fi.
• Snooze Alarms
  Because delaying it for 10 minutes is not the end of the world!
• BackUp & Restore
  Not using sync? Backup & restore 2Do via browser or backup via email.
• Tags & People
  Tag your ToDos with contacts and words to find them faster.
• Action ToDos
  Call, SMS, Email, Browse, Visit and Google!
• Smart Calendars
  Perform automatic filters on ToDos with saved searched terms.

Yes there are many more features, but frankly, I don't use them all yet.

Of course, if you're like me you like to keep your list on your browser too - and that's where iCal or Toodledo integration come in. Once you sync your list with the online services, you're not dependant on keeping your iPhone up and running while working at your desktop. And these services act like an online backup for your list.

One other thing -- the app costs $6.99 - not a cheap price in the Apple store for an app, but it is a steal at this price. Of course, I do recommend trying out the lite version first. Perhaps it's all you need
