Pocket Informant have been priding themselves to come up with good task management applications since Windows Mobile days.

Their iOS Software have been selling well on the App Store and here they did their changes to their iPad App and it looks great!

Calendar View

While on a 2.8 inch to 3.5 inch screen it is a struggle to present events and task in a clear manner with good space affordance, on a 10 inch display it is not a problem.

Task View

Task Lists are clear and concise as well. Do note the clear breakdown into Folders, Tasks, Perspectives and Filters.

Over the Air Synchronization

The advantage of PI over the standard iPad calendar lies in two areas: the integration of the calendar with tasks, and the ability to have PI sync those functions with outside sources. The PI calendar can be synced to desktop clients (Outlook, iCal) and to Google Calendar online. Tasks can be synced to the online service Toodledo. Development is planned to add Exchange support and full OS X support in the future.

This ability to wirelessly sync both calendars and tasks online and to the desktop is something iPad owners have longed to have since the appearance of the device. Having this powerful capability included in an app that facilitates working with the calendar and tasks is icing on the cake.

Pricing

This application is expensive at USD 12.99 (now promo at USD 6.99) but I think it is well worth the effort.
