It’s surprising that the iPhone doesn’t have a native solution for MS Outlook task synchronization. Task management has become a core element of my work style and not having my task list (or the ability to create tasks) on the iPhone is an annoyance. Not even MobileMe has a task management feature.

I was able to find a nice workaround after some investigation. This approach is free and seems to work just fine.

You can create a free account at Toodledo.com and then use the free Toodledo synchronization tool to sync your data between Outlook and the Toodledo.com cloud. Once synchronized, Toodledo has a iPhone-optimized page for viewing, managing, and creating tasks.

Your task data is stored in the Cloud, and you can set the synchronization tool to auto-sync at a set time interval or you can sync manually. Total set up time was less than ten minutes.

Chapura, the company that developed a number of Palm OS and Outlook sync tools, recently release KeyTasks. KeyTasks costs $9.99 at the app store doesn’t support categorization. KeyTasks also requires a yearly fee.
