I checked with the creator of Nozbe and here is his answer to your question regarding RIM (Blackberry) use of Nozbe.

RIM users have so far used the nozbe.mobi interface and we’ll be
updating this interface so that people can use it even better. However
we’ll be working on making the mobi interface better once we have the
iPhone app out, so probably later this December. The mobi interface is
very usable now, just doesn’t have as many features as the iNozbe
interface. Hope it helps.

That’s great news about the native Nozbe iphone app. I seem to recall seeing a screenshot of a mock-up version of it somewhere on the Nozbe forum but wasn’t aware that it was coming soon.

And I take your point about syncing remaining the next major hurdle. Like you, I have a Mac at home, a PC at work (and an iPhone pretty much everywhere) and it’s unfortunate that many of my favourite apps don’t play all that well together. While I was a little sceptical at first anyway about storing and accessing my working data online or via some type of ‘cloud’, applications like Evernote show the amazing potential of this model. It’s a great time to be watching this software evolve.

My key is that I have to have a system that will work for me whether I’m at home or at work or mobile. The latter is becoming more and more important.

Thanks for this series btw. I’m getting a lot out of it that applies generally.

And you are correct, here in the states, at least in my area between two very large cities, I have very good 3G service, so my Nozbe screens load on my iphone quickly enough for my purposes.

I am not sure that I will like the syncing bit myself, as I move between the iPhone and my Mac at home and Windows machine at work frequently everyday. Unless it has over the air syncing, I think iNozbe will work better for me than the native app. But we’ll have to wait and see on that one. John

Hi John,

This was another nice overview.

I must say, though, that the lack of a dedicated Nozbe iphone application makes it difficult for me to commit 100% to this product. While i appreciate that the Nozbe development team are working hard to improve it, with competitors like Toodledo and Remember the Milk now both having slick iPhone apps i wonder how much potential business Nozbe is losing keeping with this web-based approach.

Perhaps in Europe and the US this isn’t a concern, but here in Australia our 3G speeds can be pretty average. In practice this means that it can often take 15-20 seconds for the iNozbe page to load – which is a frustration when trying to use it as a ‘ubiquitous capture device.’

Having said that, i think that the overall design of Nozbe positions it as one of the best web-based GTD programs out there. Maybe i’m just impatient for a great program to become an outstanding one!

And thanks again for your work in putting this tour together. I hope Michael links to it on the Nozbe home page. It is a great introduction to the product.
