It looks like the ability to integrate OmniFocus (and GTD) into the iPhone/Treo is not going to happen on an application level, but I would like to see the current kGTD functionality expanded.

Currently:
- You enter a task in Treo and it syncs back to kGTD through iCal with context (if put in the right calendar) when you enter it.

- You enter a task in Treo with ">" and it will try to match it to the project when it syncs from iCal to kGTD ("Call Jones > Big Project @ Calls") will get it into your inbox with the right context and project as will ("Call Jones > big proj @ Calls"). But if there are more than one project with "big proj" in it, it doesn't work well.

Suggestions:

- Add the ability to create a new project in the task with "<" ("Call Bob < Huge Project @ Calls") would sync to OmniFocus though iCal and create a new project called "Huge Project" add "Call Bob" as the first task with a context of "Calls".

- Add the ability to give projects tags or acronyms to easily associate with. If I have a project called "Big Project" and another called "Really Big Project" and yet another called "Super Really Big Project" that takes a lot of typing on your Treo/iPhone. I suggest that OmniFocus all for keywords or tags either manually or automatically for project association.

So.. ("Call Jones > srbp @ Calls") would sync back to the "Super Really Big Project" and ("Email Jones > rbp @ Email") would sync back to the "Really Big Project" by recognizing the auto-acronym. They could also allow the user to give the projects keywords like "fpr" or "bigp" as meta data so when the user puts in ("Write proposal > bigp @ Computer") that would sync back to the "Big Project" that was tagged with "bigp".

This was the user could create projects and tasks associated with projects without having to actually have the application on the device and using the current functionality.

To extent his they could add another symbol to associate with folders ("Call Bob > Really Big Project @ Calls % Folder Name").

Thoughts?
