It's a good thing that OmniFocus isn't a scheduler and/or organizer then, they would have failed miserably. Luckily, it's a task manager, and a very good one at that.

Having contacts and a reduced calendar integrated would be a benefit in my eyes, especially for those of us who use the mobile versions in business life. An organizer should save me time which also means it should hold all needed information (contact data, calendar entries and tasks) ready for quick access.

On the other hand there is Pocket Informant, which is, after the major update that took 8 months to come, as miserable as it has been since it started on the iPhone. I really do not want OF to go anywhere near that level of failure.

If you're looking for something that does it all, then take a look at Daylite for the Mac and Daylite Touch for iPad and iPhone. Daylite does a great job as a contact / calendar / task / project / and information manager all in one, and syncs well with the mobile platforms. I comes with a built-in server app that allows you to keep all three in sync using dyndns.org if you don't have a static IP. I used it for about a year and a half.

Unfortunately, it does all of the functions well, but OmniFocus does task management REALLY well. And in my business life, task management and project management are very important. I don't mind using separate apps to achieve what I need as long as they all are the best in what they do, I'm not willing to settle for less. I use OmniFocus, OmniPlan, BusyCal, and Address Book to do what I need.

I have played around a bit with Daylite and it looks great, but the price is a RIP OFF, I use 2DO on the iPhone and it works great.

Why they can't hook this into the address book with one touch like 2DO does is insane - at $19.99 you would expect that it would be able to perform as well as an app a fraction of the price.

I still miss my Palm Pilot and Agendus - but their attempt at an iphone app really is a joke

But Daylite does something that OmniFocus doesn't do:

multi-user collaboration.

OmniFocus 1.x is used mostly as a single-user program. Sharing tasks isn't something that OmniFocus does very well.
