I might try Teux Deux. Wunderlist failed to survive a full day of work. I'm now back to 2Do, even though I had an unpleasant support experience with them in November-December (they seemed nice and they seemed to be trying to fix my problem, but they were unable to do so and wasted my time in the process).
Just giving Teux Deux a trial run for to-do lists. Despite the horrible name, it's simple and clean-looking. And I like that you can list tasks do be done "Someday".
magneticnorth - I loved Dave Allen's GTD system but I don't follow it rigorously at all. In particular, I find the idea of Next Actions to be not very helpful. That's one reason why I bailed out on OmniFocus after a couple of years of relying on it.
Mostly I just have a list of things to do and I try to do as many as I can.
I am glad that you are sharing these apps with us. I feel like we can always be on a look out for great apps that help to make our work better and easier. But I suppose that is what they are there for, right? They are there to help make our work easier, even though I will say that they are often more of a destraction than helpful for us. I suppose in the end, it is a nasty cycle of love and hate for apps.
I agree. I tend to buy apps only when I think they will be particularly useful. For now, I don't require any apps that will cost me a premium every month, but I can see why some folks would find them useful. I found this article to be vey interesting and helpful.
How about an APP to identify user requirements based on past requirements ? That can be something which will help the users to develop. I think you need AI for that.
@magneticnorth, I use openoffice for the cases where "sometimes, one might prefer to compose the blog post offline and for several writing sessions, so you'd need an app to save the blog post in for later uploading."
YWriter and Storybook are both free. I don't think that style of program works for me, so since I have Office Pro 2010, I have Word, and OneNote. The two programs can interact, so I can write in Word based on data I've noted in OneNote.
Also, since there are Web versions of Word and OneNote available via Skydrive, I have some additional mobility that way.
BUT, Skydrive has a major caveat. The Web editions of Word, Excel, OneNote, they are not full versions. If you're not careful, you can wind up with confusing formatting as the Web versions can't reproduce what they don't support.
For blogging: I just do it on site, who needs an app for that?
@chuckgregory: Some CMSs might have less usable mobile admins, so it would be better to compose and save in one app and then copy all the blog post's code to the CMS. I usually prefer to use an app for Blogger posts because the admin doesn't work as well on my mobile devices. And sometimes, one might prefer to compose the blog post offline and for several writing sessions, so you'd need an app to save the blog post in for later uploading.

In the 1970 science fiction thriller Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.

In the fall of 2011, around 160,000 students in 190 countries enrolled in a Stanford-sponsored online course about artificial intelligence. About 23,000 completed the course and got certificates, including 248 who got a perfect score. The university offered the same course the old-fashioned way to students sitting in Stanford classrooms. None of the those students got a perfect score.

New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority is conducting a pilot test of digital kiosks to guide subway users to where they want to go more efficiently and at lower cost.
The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
While NFC's original goal was to enhance mobile commerce applications, it is finding its way into a number of other uses, which is creating both opportunity as well as challenges for IT departments.
