I've thought of this as a key feature from the get-go since so many tasks have additional information associated with them. It also seems quite key for many of the integrations that people would like to see (mail, web, etc) - and would certainly make scripting said integrations that much easier.

Yes, I know it's on the road-map, but I'd like to throw in my vote for bubbling it up the priority list. While the web interface is certainly cool, it's bang for the development buck strikes me as likely much less than the rich text notes (plus many more of us can use it than a jesusPhone interface :) ).
Hear, hear. While I understand the coolness factor and the potential for bragging rights over some of the other GTD solutions out there, the number of people who will actually use this feature past the "look what I can do with my phone" stage considering it requires not only an iPhone but an always-on, Mac-based server with a fixed IP or DynDNS seems vanishingly small.

Especially when compared to the numbers that are waiting patiently for fundamental features such as rich text notes, useful printing capabilities, a decent UI for Perspectives, Mail integration, etc.

In fact wasn't a web interface specifically mentioned as a feature not to expect for 1.0 while some of these others were? Oh well, I guess the Omniscient ones had to have something to call their own on their shiny new toys. Playtime is over kids, get back to work! ;)
