When I moved to an Android device earlier this year, I decided to fully use Remember the Milk (RTM) as my task/todo management tool.
Mainly because
a) stock Android does not have any such tool
b) it is available on the Web (read: PC), on iOS (my iPad) and my Andoid mobile...
There are a lot of plug-ins and other integration methods into other tools as well, listed here.[1]
For the web browser there's a "quick add" bookmarklet that allows you to easily add a web-page to your task list as well.
I was missing exactly this feature for the mobile, so I asked in the support forum for this. Android has the architecture for this, the android.intent.action.SEND intent. All apps implementing/exposing this, will be listed in the "Share" or "Send to" option of the browser and other apps that support this.
Now the feature has been implemented in the latest release of RTM app for Android. And I only noticed because all of a suddent "Remember the milk" turned up in the "Share" menu of the browser.
So: Kudos to the Remember the Milk team for picking up my suggestion and implementing it. Excellent support.
