Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.






There is certainly no shortage of GTD apps in the OS X shareware world. Active developers, who respond well to community feedback, have proven to create healthy competition between apps. Just as Cultured Code released version 1.0 of their lauded app, Things, the Potion Factory has struck back with a free beta version of their own GTD app: The Hit List. The Hit List, at first glance, is similar to Things in its simplicity, as the novice can use it immediately. There are, however, other advanced features, such as a tagging system that helps you organize tasks by category/topic.
What I like about The Hit List is that it is made to be used with the keyboard; a really nice option for those who enjoy using the keyboard rather than the mouse. Additionally, The Hit List organizes tasks into cards (much like the old hipster PDA) and folders, which can be tabbed, a great option. Overall, those who enjoy Things may want to give The Hit List a chance before they lay down the $50 needed for Things.
Finally, looking at the preferences, The Potion Factory says they are indeed planning on releasing an iPhone version of The Hit List, one that will sync with the desktop version.
A free public beta is available.
