Default What's the best way to Sync a "To-Do List"

Hey all,

I want to be able to sync a "To-Do" type of a list or a "Task" list with my iPhone and my Macbook Pro. I currently us "My Day" on my MBP and would love to sync that to the iPhone using MobileMe or the like. I don't want to have to plug my iPhone into my MBP to do it.

Is there anything available that will help me with that?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Cheers
-J

If you use Mail and iCal, you simply move your to - do folder, that would currently be 'on your mac', to the one you have that is imap, ie MobileMe.

This will put To do's into the Apple To Do folder with mail, on your iphone.

Not that I am aware of yet. After looking around, I am now using Zenbe List and its syncable web page for my todos. It's functional enough for the time being until Apple formally sync iCal's todo list on iPhone.

+1 for Zenbe Lists. It's a semi online solution though, as in, it's web-based, but after the iPhone app is sync'd it no longer requires the internet for you to view your lists. You can press 'sync' at any time.

It's the perfect solution for my needs, since I want to be able to sync my tasks wirelessly and on the fly, but not have to connect to the net everytime I want to add/edit/delete an entry. I can just sync before I leave the house, complete all my tasks/check off shopping list items/whatever, and sync when I get home.

Also a great solution for iPod Touch users who don't have internet access wherever they go.

I don't use mail, I use Entourage and "My Day"

So you are saying that there is no other way? GRR!!
