Backboard gives Backpack some Macintosh style
Backpack by 37signals is a terrific online organization and collaboration tool (we've written about Backpack many times). Those wanting a desktop application that works with Backpack have used the popular Packrat. This week, Lars Steiger has offered a solution with more Macintosh style, called Backboard.Aside from a Mac-like appearance, Backboard also adds a few features to Backpack, like the ability to attach dates and priorities, support for multiple accounts and a nice overview of tasks.
Backboard is currently in private beta, but if you ask nicely, perhaps Lars will put you in the queue.

Uh... copyright infringement on BLACKboard backpack?

Even assuming that there is copyright in a name (which is doubtful) the name is not the same.
