GTD Information Management Tool looks interesting
filed in GTD, Getting Things Done, Productivity management, Project Management, life organizer on Jan.31, 2010
I came across this Windows desktop application that aim to follow the Getting Things Done to organize the information you come across in your daily lives.
I didn’t manage to give it a try but it does look very sophisticated, on the level of Mind Manager by Mindjet.
How much it cost?
its not free and the price might turn off a few people. it cost like USD197.
Who is it for?
Probably for people who have a windows desktop or laptop as their main GTD planning and collection center. Definitely not for me since i seldom have access to my personal computer.
What are its main functionality?

Final Thoughts
It does look more polish than alot of the free desktop apps that i see, but its steep at USD 197 and i wonder with the coming of the mobile internet you should be paying that much for a standalone desktop app.
