omnifocus for iphone
Hells yeah, OmniFocus for the iPhone will be location-aware by default, and should sync beautifully with OmniFocus back on the home office machine. Desktop OmniFocus is a masterpiece, but now it's officially become legendary with a tightly-integrated parallel mobile version. What's not to love?

It's great to see innovative developers start to think about location-awareness with the newly announced iPhone 3G and not just on a superficial, fluffy level. Now if I've added a task to pick up more transmission fluid, I can see all the auto stores close to where I'm standing, and get a map/directions to them. It could theoretically know when I'm at home, and show me my home tasks specifically.
OmniGroup software tends to be a little on the spendy side, but I can attest that the attention to detail they put into each bit is worth every cent they charge. I was on the early betas of OmniFocus and it was amazing to see how quickly they iterated the software and with the care they did so- I can only imagine how slick it'll be to finally carry my tasks with me on the iPhone and really use the hardware for it's strengths, not just scan a basic list with a hacked OSX-to-touch quickie software port. Whatever it costs, I'll be lining up at the App Store to get my copy of OmniFocus iPhone as soon as it hits the streets. W00t!
