First Look: Fliq Tasks
Mark/Space has added another member to their rapidly growing family of iPhone file transfer applications. The new baby in the family is Fliq Tasks, which joins Fliq for Mac and Windows, Fliq Notes, and Fliq for iPhone. As with Fliq for iPhone and Fliq Notes, Fliq Tasks is available in the App Store for free (click opens iTunes). Mark/Space is providing their iPhone applications for free, while charging for the Mac and Windows "host" software. Fliq for Mac and Fliq for Windows are available for US$19.95 (US$49.95 for a 3-pack) each.
If you want to transfer files between iPhones over a Wi-Fi network, all you need are the free iPhone apps. When you add the functionality of transferring information to and from your Mac or PC, you'll have to purchase the desktop applications.
Fliq Tasks is a full-featured task manager with big, clear, and easy-to-use interface similar to that found in Fliq Notes. Tasks can be listed by name, date due, category, and priority. You can add categories to better match them to your requirements, and there's a simple setting to hide completed tasks. Using the soon-to-be-released Fliq 1.1 for Mac or Windows, you'll be able to send or receive tasks from your iPhone to your big computer.
Current Fliq users should be sure to give Fliq Tasks a try, and the price is definitely right. Check out the mini-gallery below for more screenshots.

Are you sure you want to squeeze the weasel at work? That could be an HR violation.

Whoa. I didn't realize that you readers were apparently attributing some obscene meaning to those innocuous tasks until I got a note from the software developer. After I read through these comments, I guess some people thought I was being scatological!
What I was doing was trying to think up some good, fun tasks that weren't exactly your everyday "finish the report", "buy a server" type of items, so I used two things that were on hand - our cat Ruby and our ferret Gollum. My wife and I have jokingly used the term "wax the cat" for almost 30 years to refer to a task that we'd rather do instead of something that we've been assigned to do. For instance, when Barb asks me to do the dishes, I tell her I have to wax the cat and rotate her pads... Whenever one of us picks up Gollum, we refer to that as "squeezing the weasel" (he does that weird trilling noise when we do it).
Seriously, if I had any thought that ANYBODY would take these the wrong way, I wouldn't have used those tasks! I'll be changing the screenshots ASAP, you dirty-minded people!
