Appigo Sync brings iCal todo syncing with iPhone app

I've always thought that the lack of iCal todo syncing was one of the strangest omissions on the iPhone and iPod touch. Now, finally, it's possible thanks to Appigo Sync (beta), a free small helper application for the Mac designed to interface with Appigo's $10 Todo iPhone app (iTunes link).

Todo on the iPhone has been able to sync with online services Remember the Milk and Toodledo for a while now. With the addition of Appigo Sync, however, you can now get your todos from iCal (though, unfortunately, it cannot sync with both your Mac and an online service). Like most other desktop syncing solutions for the iPhone, it works over WiFi and requires your iPhone and Mac to be on the same network.

Appigo Sync is a free download. Todo for iPhone is $9.99; there's also a free Todo Lite limited to seven tasks, but which will allow you to test out the syncing (both iTunes links).

Why not try a hosted service like InfTek's Hosted Kerio. Way better than MobileMe. I can sync calendars, email, contacts and more with push technology. Plus it's only $5.99/mo.

The support is awesome as well.

They're hardly the first. My app (Clink Tasks) was, as far as I know, the first on the app store. and there are quite a few others out there that did the same before now.

I have used Todo since the iPhone first started selling apps, and it has not disappointed. The company is responsive to suggestions, and has worked tirelessly to improve app functionality.

I have examined all the other to do list managers and keep coming back to todo as the best in the bunch. Granted we can all be mad at Apple for not including To Do lists in the native functionality, but this has been a great replacement.

(I use Todo with toodledo, and also use their Notebook app as a notes replacement).

way overpriced for something that apple should include for free.

I am one of those kids who clenches their teeth every time they have to buy software. However, I am glad i bought this app like 4 days ago (right before my semester started) and i love it.
Yeah it should be something that should come in standard with the iphone but guess what!? it isnt. So thanks Appigo

Totally worth the $10. I use this every day and sync it with Toodledo online. If you use Outlook on Windows, you can even sync tasks to Toodledo and then to Appigo's Todo app. They have instructions on the site. (It tends to behave oddly with Outlook if the tasks are recurring, though.)

Anyway, I'm addicted to Todo and Toodledo now.

Or you can use Things, which can be synced with iCal as well

From what I've seen, (Things) iCal integration takes a lot of set up and is pretty limited. There's also the fact you have to buy their $50 desktop app to get it at all.
