Todo Q v.1.1.11 for Android has Faster Task Completion
May 3rd
Todo Q v1.1.11 was recently released to the android market. The main enhancement was the addition of star-style checkboxes on the task list that can be used to complete a task. The long-click menu still exists, but the star-style checkboxes make it much more intuitive.
Currently working on a button bar for the list with common functions such as add task, show completed tasks, settings, and filter by location. On a longer term, trying to rework the location services to support additional location providers and improve battery life. These are harder problems, but definitely worth solving.
Todo Q is available for only $1.99 on the android market.

Droid 2.1 update makes Todo Q maps say pinch me!
Apr 2nd
My droid was updated to 2.1-update 1 this morning. I ran a quick test of Todo Q and everything seems to work normally. When testing the maps in Todo Q, I was surprised to find that “pinch to zoom” worked flawlessly. (!) I figured it would require additional work, but I guess they built it right into the component. Good job Google.
Todo Q is available for 1.99 in the android market.
