Any.do is my favorite task manager for mobile. It is currently available for Android phones only but they are working on an iPhone app and also a web-based version that should make it available to all the other mobile platforms.
Any.do has a beautiful UI with large fonts and there’s voice input so you can add new tasks by speaking instead of typing on that small keyboard. My favorite feature though is the app's integration with Google Tasks. Any.do can sync your task list with Gmail both ways so you always have access to your tasks.
Add Missed Calls to your Pending Tasks List
The new version of Any.do’s Android app adds another interesting feature.
If there’s a missed call on your mobile phone and you are too busy to return the call at that time, you can quickly add it to your pending task list with a simple click. Thus, you would remember to call that person and since Any.do synchronizes with Google Tasks, all your missed call notifications would also be available inside Gmail.

~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
The following joke has been around for such a long time! Still, this is for people who either forgot this one, or have not come across this joke!
Management Lessons:
Lesson Number One
************************
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow and asked, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day?"
The crow answered, "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Management Lesson:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson Number Two
***********************
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Management Lesson:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
Lesson Number Three
**************************
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was
actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!
Management Lesson:
1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) When you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!
**************************
Get to know what it is getting More than 100%...........
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants "more than 100%."
Well here's how you do that. Here's how you can achieve 103%. First of all,here's a little math that might prove helpful in
the future. How does one achieve 100% in LIFE? Begin by noting the following.
IF :
A = 1
B = 2
C = 3
D = 4
E = 5
F = 6
G = 7
H = 8
I = 9
J = 10
K = 11
L = 12
M = 13
N = 14
O = 15
P = 16
Q = 17
R = 18
S = 19
T = 20
U = 21
V = 22
W = 23
X = 24
Y = 25
Z = 26
Then:
H A R D W O R K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = Only 98%
Similarly,
K N O W L E D G E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = Only 96%
But interesting (and as you'd expect),
A T T I T U D E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%.....
This is how you achieve 100% in LIFE.
But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO NOTE (or REALIZE), is
B U L L S H I T = 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
So now you know what all those high-priced consultants, upper management,
and motivational speakers really mean when they want to exceed 100%!
Here's a word on how communication travels across the management....

Android Jelly Bean To Follow Ice Cream Sandwich
According to a report from ThisIsMyNext, the version of Android that follows the upcoming Android Ice Cream Sandwich will be called Android Jelly Bean. This fits in with Google’s naming its software after delicious treats and doing so in alphabetical order. To recap, we’ve had Eclair, then Froyo, then Gingerbread, then Honeycomb, and shortly, we’ll see the release of Ice Cream Sandwich.
But while we apparently now know the name of Android Jelly Bean, we still don’t know what version number it’s going to have or really, any of the features that it might include when it arrives.
Their source also claims that some of the ‘game-changing’ elements of Ice Cream Sandwich have been pushed to Jelly Bean except those features were not detailed. No elaboration on what those features are or were.
Ice Cream Sandwich is, according to Eric Schmidt, going to be released either in October or November with most signs pointing to a release at some point in October along with a phone called the Samsung Nexus Prime. Or the Samsung Droid Prime.

Hands-On: Twitter’s New Photo-Sharing Service
Twitter has begun rolling out its new photo-sharing feature to the masses.
The new Twitter photo service, which replaces the functionality provided by TwitPic, Yfrog and other photo-sharing services, is part of both Twitter’s photo and video revamp and Twitter’s new integration deep within Apple iOS 5. The photo feature is powered by Photobucket, a fact that is impossible to miss on tweets using the new Twitter feature.
I took Twitter’s new photo-sharing feature for a quick test drive. Check out the pics and let me know in the comments if you can access this new feature yet:

Mozilla Firefox Mobile WAP Browser – Coming soon for Mobile Phone Download
When it’s about Mobile internet browsing Opera Mini is widely used as a wap browser worldwide. Now, there is a good news for Firefox Likers. Mozilla Firefox is working hard these days to come up with their Mobile browser version. As a beta version, it is currently available for Nokia N900.

The version is able to encrypt all the information a user receives and sends it back through the cloud. Also it can sync with the desktop version of the browser.
Also Mozila which is considered to be the parent company of Firefox, is developing versions for Google’s Android as well as Microsoft’s Windows operating systems.
Those who have, iPhones and want to have Firefox on their desktop, they will have to wait a bit, as the company has to synchronize their desktop.
But still Opera is considered to be the most popular mobile browser at present. It is available for many mobile handsets.

Jay Sullivan who was in charge of the project said that the mobile version underwent various tests and would be launched by the end of the year. He also added a user would not have to sit in the evening and work on their PC, instead he would be able to walk. In case he received some urgent documents that he had to read there would be no necessity to back home and check his e-mail, as his mobile would be equipped withFirefox mobile version.
It’s built on the same engine as the desktop Firefox 3.6 and is packed full of familiar features. Watch the video to see how you’ve helped us get here and where we’re going next.
