I mentioned in my earlier post<\/strong> and video about using ToodleDo to manage your tasks (see this post<\/a>) that one great thing about ToodleDo is how it runs in a browser on any device, even Android smartphones. Well, I just noticed that’s not completely true. Among my collections of smartphones is a Verizon Droid X. I love the large screen on this phone, great for using a browser, especially in landscape mode. However, the stock browser on it for some reason won’t let me tap-click many of the button controls on the ToodleDo—nothing happens when I do. It occurred to me this may be browser dependent, so I downloaded the Dolphin HD browser, and all the buttons in ToodleDo work great in that browser; problem solved.<\/p>\n Similarly, I was playing with a Samsung Galaxy Tab <\/strong>(the 7-inch Android tablet for sale everywhere right now) in the AT&T Wireless store the other day. In its stock browser,\u00a0 many of the ToodleDo buttons did not seem to work either. I was not in the position to start installing software on the demo device, but I am sure Dolphin or one of the other popular browsers in Android would have worked too if installed.<\/p>\n ToodleDo folks are working on this—so TD runs in the stock Android browsers as well. But once I switched to Dolphin, I did not want to go back—that browser is really good!<\/p>\n By the way, if looking at other browsers, be sure to choose one with easy zoom features because in ToodleDo you will be zooming a lot: you’ll zoom out when you are scrolling through your tasks list, and then you’ll zoom in to open or modify a task. I like pinch-zoom capability (note Opera browser doesn’t really have it), so pick a browser that works for you.<\/p>\n Why even use a browser and not a task app? <\/strong>Well, there is not yet an Android ToodleDo task app the fully supports MYN tasks formatting (even the third party ones don’t do that yet, though some I am told are on the way). That’s why using the web version of ToodleDo is still the best way to go on your Android smartphone or tablet. With the right browser, I think you’ll see that you can fly through your tasks with ease!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dec 24, 2010 I mentioned in my earlier post and video about using ToodleDo to manage your tasks (see this post) that one great thing about ToodleDo is how it runs in a browser on any device, even Android smartphones. … Continue reading
