Getting even more things done

Posted on by

When I crafted the Mobile Task Manager application this summer I didn’t expect it to have that good response in community. It was even mentioned in many blogs like Nokia Mobile Talk and even reviewed on one of my favorite Symbian sites, all about symbian.com, by Ewan Spence. Ewan pointed out good ideas how application could be improved to be even better GTD application for mobile phones.

Splash screen Task list

Last week I miraculously had few spare hours here and there and I was able to improve this app a little based on feedback written on the application page and based on Ewan’s review. Today I’m able to release the version 1.2 of the Mobile Task Manager with the following new features:

  • You can prioritize todo items (none, low, normal, high)
  • Priority shown as flags (none, green, yellow, red)
  • Priority can be changed from item view (left/right key)
  • …or straight from item list with ’0′ shortcut key
  • You can sort items by name, done-status or priority
  • Import items from text file or CSV file
  • FIX: pressing ’3′ causes the item below the one highlighted to open up for editing
  • FIX: “Delete selected” will not delete the last entry on a folder
  • FIX: pressing ’9′ does not work for quick note editing

Unfortunately I had to rename the JAR file in this release as it previously contained the version number so you can’t update your existing instance. From now on I’m keeping the same name (MobileGtd.jar) so future releases are going to update the existing installation. You can download the binaries (JAR/JAD files) from here.

Mobile Task Manager is still open source so if you like to check out the code you can do so in here.

New release of Twim is once again out of the door.

Twitgoo Service

Now you can post photos from Twim to Twitgoo

With the latest version (v1.11) you will gain the following new features:

  • Twitgoo support. Now you can take a photo and send it directly to Twitgoo service.
  • Retweet feature fills up the status update box with the selected tweet.
  • Clock is shown in the bottom of the menu screen so you know what  time it is even if you Tweet with Twim 24/7.

Download the latest version from Twim page here. Tweet me (@tlaukkanen) if you like the new features :)

For the next versions I have planned on implementing an option to upload existing photos from your memory card as then you will have much more higher quality photos to upload to TwitPic and Twitgoo. This is because Java MMAPI doesn’t let application to take full resolution pics within Java application for unknown reasons.
