After discovering nActionr through this post, I have given the app a good run-through this afternoon. This app is very close to what I have been looking for. I have tried several GTD apps on my MacBook, but a laptop is just too cumbersome to use for quick-fire task/project creation which can and does happen anywhere at any time. Laptops are hard to balance on the back of urinal. As such, I have been wanting a true GTD-centric app for my Windows Mobile phone, which is always on my hip.

There currently is a slight bug when using my Cingular 8525 (HTC TyTN) in landscape mode (when the QWERTY keyboard is slid out) as the window does not adjust to the new aspect ratio. I fired off an email to jabsystems (nActionr's developer) describing the problem and got a personal reply within ten minutes stating an intent to fix.

There is a lot to appreciate about this app, but I especially like the separate input applet for quick, enter-and-forget, input and the subsequent inbox processing implementation that I can do later when I'm not in the thick of the daily grind. I have been using Pocket Informant and its somewhat similar "Create Task" shortcut, but I have to give the speed advantage to nActionr hands down. This is true when just firing off a single task, but it gets better: I can create a whole list of tasks at once and tap 'Process'. Then, the applet returns a confirmation that X# of tasks have been entered into nActionr's Inbox and I can go on about my day.

All-in-all, for a v1.0 this is a well designed GTD app. I'm on day 1 of a 30-day trial, but if the landscape bug gets fixed, I'm fairly confident this one will be a keeper.
