“To sync tasks you need a compatible device (iPhones don’t have tasks support yet but Windows Mobile, Nokia and Palm Pre phones do). Register for a Toodledo account (free or pro). Enable and configure tasks on our web site—enter your Toodledo username and password.”

A few months ago I wrote about NuevaSync’s Push GMail Solution which beat out Google’s official support for GMail through Exchange ActiveSync by quite a few months. Now that Google has caught up, NuevaSync has again decided to up the ante by adding Tasks support! The catch is – the tasks sync isn’t with Google Tasks (Since it’s pretty bare bones and doesn’t have a published API), it’s with a task managing service named Toodledo!

I hadn’t used Toodledo before so I signed up this morning and tried it out – and I’m pretty impressed. I can now manage my tasks from the cloud (even from within GMail thanks to the Labs “Add a gadget” feature), and have them synced on my device. Oh yea – Toodledo also has a native Android client! So if you’re a Google user or cloud patron that just wants to keep his or her to-do list in check, take a look at Nueva’s latest premium offering!

“Oh, look, it’s another place to buy bite-sized mobile apps, this one courtesy of Samsung. The company isn’t exactly new to the whole application store thing, launching a little outlet for Nokia users earlier this year, but piggy-backing on someone else’s platform and boldly blazing a trail of iFart knockoffs on your own hardware are two very different things”

So it looks like Samsung is jumping on the Application Store bandwagon, which is great because Windows Mobile doesn’t have enough of them </sarcasm>. Who knows, perhaps Samsung will stock theirs with unique products that exploit the custom SDKs on their devices. Or more likely they’ll put the same apps that will be in the upcoming Windows Mobile Marketplace, Handango’s market, etc..

“Those of you disappointed by the “top secret” features of Leopard might want to cast your hopeful, wayward glances in the direction of Ubuntu. Here comes “Gutsy Gibbon,” otherwise known as Ubuntu 7.10 whose feature-set now appears finalized with a planned October release just like Apple’s big cat. Pumping the 2.6.22 Linux kernel at its core, Gutsy G will be the first Ubuntu release to include new Mobile and Embedded editions “targeted at hand-held devices and other mobile/embedded form factors.” It will integrate the Hildon UI components developed by Nokia and already on display in their N800 tablet. In other words, that Sony Ericsson P990i we saw running Ubuntu likely wasn’t a hoax after all.”

Ubuntu is, without a doubt, a great geek tool to play with (and actually get work done with). With Gutsy, the next major planned release, supporting hand-held devices (or at least making support easier than it has been), it’s tempting to break out older devices and give them a new linux face. Hopefully this will be an option in the near future, thanks to the planned improvements and (I’m sure) ingenious coders that will make it happen. After all, if I can just get my Beryl effects on my Jasjar, I can kick some serious iPhone butt in the graphics department
