I use it to help manage nearly every facet of my life &#8211; in particular my contacts, calendar, and communications.\u00a0 But two important functions were missing that would complete my mobility needs &#8211; the ability to manage tasks and notes which I maintain in Exchange.<\/p>\n<p>The Microsoft Exchange messaging system using Outlook or Entourage clients to manage email, contacts, tasks, personal notes, and calendar.\u00a0 The native iPhone integration manages only email, contacts, and calendar.\u00a0 Now there two separate apps to complete my messaging needs &#8211; iMTasks and iMNotes.<\/p>\n<h3>iMTasks<\/h3>\n<p>As mobile apps go, this app is about as complete as it can get.\u00a0 It easy to setup, using the same information we used to setup our Exchange mail, calendaring, and contacts.\u00a0 It has the ability to sort projects by: Start Date, Due Date, Subject, Priority, and Category.\u00a0 It&#8217;s viewing options are adequate: Show Active Tasks Only, Due On or Before, Starts On or Before, and Categories.<\/p>\n<p>Entering a new task is simple.\u00a0 Set the start date, due date, priority, and category.\u00a0 There&#8217;s even a progress bar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tasks View: Allows you to keep on track of all your tasks and manage your objectives on the road.

Create, edit, view and search Notes in real-time. Create a note on the iPhone, press the sync button and and it shows up in Outlook or Entourage a few seconds later.\u00a0 Create a note in Outlook\/Entourage and it shows up on the iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>The cost is also $6.99.\u00a0 Because I use Notes fairly regularly, this was a must have for me.\u00a0 There&#8217;s also a iMTasks Lite that free &#8211; a read only version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iPhone is a great device with lots of applications and integrates very well into the Northeastern environment.
