As I mentioned in my earlier post today, ToodledDo today just released a major upgrade for their browser-based task management software. It’s really good. One thing they did was use more Ajax coding in the interface so you get speedier screen interaction results.
Of course, when you change the coding on a site, some things may get affected. Here’s one: Android-based Dolphin Browser no longer works well with ToodleDo. I had recommended Dolphin earlier since the built-in browser on my Android phone (a Droid X by the way) never worked with ToodleDo (and still does not with the new version of TD). But Dolphin did, but now it does not with the new TD. The problem is about a quarter of the buttons don’t get pressed properly.
The solution? Switch to Opera Mobile. It works great on my Android phone with the ToodleDo browser mode.
Of course, you are probably using Pocket Informant to get at ToodleDo on the Android, so this all may be moot for you. But I still like to go into the browser version of ToodleDo on my Droid X, and so getting the right browser is key. Opera Mobile is the way to go.
By the way, Safari on the iPad works great with ToodleDo. And the browser on my BlackBerry Torch works tolerably well too.
