I am using Mobile-Org on my Android phone. And I do use it for input only. I love the "share with.../Mobile Org"-feature that lets me easily share web pages, RSS feed entries, and such. Although plain text todos I prefer to write on my hipster PDA[1] which consists of a folded paper and a space pen. It is just faster than grabbing the phone, beat the lock screen, start up Mobile Org, hit the "new task"-button, hit the entry line to start up the keyboard, and then ... what was it I wanted to write down again? > What do you use? And if you use mobileorg, then how well does it work? For sharing something which is already written, I love it. For having stuff from my desktop Org on the road I've had troubles: I do have /way/ too much stuff on my desktop to blindly add everything to Org Mobile. And I could not find the time to get a setup that exports only stuff I need such as contacts, current errands, ... yet. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_PDA -- Karl Voit
