I go between post-it notes, email, Highrise, iCal to do items, Moleskins, and my own brain. Things – to do list management vexes me.is great if you’re out-and-about as much as I am. Syncing to your iPhone is the big win for all this trouble: being able to check your calendar when you’ve only got your phone, not online, etc. For example, the fact that you can’t subscribe to calendars in MobileMe is like selling a car with three wheels: it’s just silly. The need for these tools, while a boon for Spanning Sync, is really a dumb omission when it comes to Mac land. If you’re going to use iCal and you use Google Apps, you’ll need to get Spanning Sync and if you’re going to layer on an iPhone, you’ll need MobileMe to get your calendars syncing correctly across all your devices. First, it looks nice, second it integrates well enough with Mail.app and iPhones. iCal – while Outlook/Exchange calendaring still wins hands down for “works like you’d expect” (mostly because that’s where you learned what to expect), once you get out your duct-tape, iCal is a great calendaring tool.But that’s just fine for me as I don’t really like chatting in video and voice. While they’ve added video and voice (I think, in betas at least), it’s still purely textual. Adium both looks nice and “works nice.” The ability to group contacts together across networks, group multipule identities into one, keep chat archives, and on and one makes Adium the IM client of choise. It works with every network you’d care about (and many you wouldn’t) except Skype (sure, there’s a Skype plugin, but you have to run Skype while you use it). This is one of the most astonishingly awesome pieces of software available.
