Things gets my vote. The syncing gets to be a pain, but I have the Mac, iPhone (ipod touch actually), and iPad versions so I just leave a Mac on. I also have 2 macs synchronized through dropbox (which is also a pain when you get conflicts).

I disagree completely. With the always-connected social features they want on the phone, there is really no alternative plan pricing. Their failure was in capturing market, or more precisely, the lack thereof. There was simply no market for

11 days of one niche app on the market is also not a big timeframe to pass judgement on the Android Market as a whole. It takes time for apps to gain traction. My app benefited greatly from exposure from a free version first, then adding th

I'm surprised the IE team hasn't made more progress considering the easygoing attitude they express with these antics including that cake they sent to Mozilla for FF3. I guess being fun doesn't necessarily mean your software will be too.
