Reminders in iOS5
Until 5 minutes ago I had been considering iOS5’ Reminders app as a simple Todo list with the ability to set alerts at a specific date/time. This was not particularly appealing to me, since I already use Google Calendar for that and it integrates perfectly on the iPhone; I just set up an appointment or thing-to-do on Google from my desktop PC, the phone syncs with it, and it alerts me at the right time.
I just found out something cool that the Reminders app adds to this though: you can set up a new todo thing so that the phone alerts you according to your location…namely when you arrive at a certain place (e.g: arrive home) or leave it (e.g: leave the office). Pretty nice!
