A. I'll answer by asking: are you a *very* technical person?
If so, the Nokia N900 is amazing ... but it's surely not for the faint of heart. Sure, very few of its apps cost money, but with kernel editing and beta software being the rule instead of the exception, there's the room for danger. I love mine -- I can FTP, DLNA, edit word docs with Abiword, check my wife's cycle on MaeGirls, blog with MaStory, edit images with Ansel-A, use Evernote and have root access. I even started using it as an MP3 player, keeping 30 GB of MP3 on it (did I mention it has 32GB of space built in and will take a 16GB Micro-SD card?). However, I'm very experimental.
The Palm Pre platform is gorgeous, with amazing multitasking and user interface. The hinge on the phone was a problem for my co-worker, who sent his back, saying it felt "fragile." If HP updates the OS (they bought Palm recently) and supports it (and the deal with the privacy concern -- Palm was collecting user data that was so not cool, but then again so do many Android apps), I could see myself being swayed back that way with decent productivity software. For now, though, I love the freedom of my Linux phone and don't mind the risks (I back up everything all the time).
Good luck!

A. I use Handbrake to rip DVDs for my iPod. Stanza is a good ebook reader app, and Calibre is good for organizing ebooks and converting between formats. I also use apps like Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus and NeoOffice.
looking for a good and free todo/task manager/tracker, any suggestion?
Q. I'm looking for a ToDo/task manager with the following features:
Mandatory:
- Free
- Works offline.
- Able to sync between computers/devices.
- Cross or multi platform. Must work on Linux and/or Windows (as long as some others)
- Task can be marked as completed.
- Hierarchy, projects and or subtasks.
- Tags, contexts, or any way to classify tasks in the same context.
- Alarms or time notifications or calendar
Desirable:
- Open Source
- Task completion percentage.
- Task priority.
- Share task lists, collections or projects with others.
- GTD or Kanban related.
I'm looking for apps different than TaskCoach (hard to sync), Chandler (seems the project is dead, and not working in the latest Ubuntu), Remember The Milk (no subtasks, no real clients and depends on Internet), Evernote (hard to track tasks just at sight, not working on Linux), not a geek command line task manager (no and no).

A. Check out Teamlab.
Sure, it will meet your requirements .
It`s a really nice PM web-app, free, opensource, based on the cloud in Amazon.
