Eek! Remember the Milk (RTM) and Appigo ToDo Fall Out

For a couple of years now, I've been a paid-up user of Remember The Milk (Pro), which I've used to manage my 'to do' list and share with colleagues, via the web, via GMail plugins and all sorts of handy interfaces.

I've also been using, on my iPhone, Appigo's excellent ToDo software, which syncs with Remember The Milk, meaning I have seamless access to my task list wherever I go.

Until now.

Unfortunately, the two companies have now parted ways in a rather bitter dispute. The end result is that ToDo no longer syncs with RTM, and has no plans to ever do so again.

My choices are to use the (less good) RTM iPhone app, or take advantage of Appigo's offer to move to a 6 month free trial of ToodleDo. I suspect I'll do the latter as it is cheaper, but it would be much easier for everyone if this could have been resolved by the companies without the losers in all this being the end users.

The whole thing is summarised in this excellent blog post by Rob Warner.
