SO much love for this application. I used Remember The Milk for task management before I even owned an especially smart phone… back in my HTC 8125 days…  ha (happened to be cool circa 06′, OK?…).

Fortunately RTM made it really easy to get task reminders via text message by using Twitter. Which was ridiculously innovative… but that won’t be the topic of this post. So, onto more relevant points.

Mirror Action

After getting paid to spend 8 hours looking at  a computer screen for a while now, the power of reflecting your online life on your mobile device has manifested itself to me. The ability to mirror any additions/changes you’ve made to your calendar events or task list is particularly important for maximum productivity. Going along with the ghetto picture theme, here’s a super ghetto photo of my homescreen widgets that stream in my tasks and calendar.

On the right RTM Tasks & to the left there is a widget I got off the Market called Pure Calendar, works great for streaming in Google calendars.

Smart Add

This could easily be the one reason (if I had to choose) I use RTM.  Smart Add refers to the ability to type while adding a task “salad dressing 8am” and get a reminder in the morning at 8am to get salad dressing for the co-worker whose salad dressing you devoured over the last 2 weeks.

You can also use operators to add even more detail about the task. Like making the task have a repeating reminder by specifying “take garbage out thursday 8am *weekly”. You can check out how bad ass task management can be on your own time though.

An additional efficiency tip, if you use GMail is to use the Remember the Milk gadget. This provides the smart add functionality for calendar events and tasks in the convenient location of … right next to your inbox

Conclusion

Over all this app looks great and is easy to use. Not once have I experienced an issue with it and all the functionality of the web app streams flawlessly. Speaking of the web app… it’s incredible. I highly suggest getting and using Remember the Milk. It’s free (UPDATE… used to be, now only for 15 days), but just go pro… it’s like $20 a year or something similarly nominal.

Mkuy…. So this app is works well for backing up SMS, call logs, music and browsing history.

Leave calendar and contacts alone! They sync automatically with GMail anyway. I was dumb enough to keep those boxes checked when I tried to restore my phone and paid dearly.

So here’s a little background on what happened.

Apparently the Droid headphone jack goes bad after a few months if used consistently. I use it everyday so 4-5 months later I finally gave in and got a replacement.

I was looking for the ultimate solution for backing up and restoring my phone EXACTLY how it was and read in a forum that MyBackup Pro was the solution. Don’t know if the guy talking about it was a good writer or what, but one way or the other he convinced me to shell out the 6-7 bucks.

Fun and easy to use app really… schedule automatic backups to the web while you’re sleeping.

Then, crunch time came… and I was excited. My shiny new refurb was waiting for me to tap the restore button on MyBackup Pro and I was glad to do it.

An hour later or so I… and the 100′s of people I’ve been doing business with for the past year began receiving declined event emails from my Google Calendar. For some reason the f’n app went through and declined past events, sending an email for every occurrence to all attendees! … I’m still feeling the effect of that a week later. It also merged calendars & added me as owner of some re-occurring events.

Other shortcomings:

• restored my homescreen with the exception of my widgets
• failed to restore all applications

So in conclusion, I’d recommend this app for the backup schedule functionality. Just make sure you’re not an idiot like me and try to backup and restore information that’s already backed up on Google.
