I can (for example) have a category called shopping and a category called Staples so I can filter just to Staples items when I'm there. I can have the exact same item tagged to filter to another store too. They're not mutually exclusive like the Palm has.<br>

As far as I know, GPE stores its to-do list in a data base, which is (at<br>
least conceptually) an unordered set of records. The kind of<br>
hand-rearranging I do is not really conceptually compatible with this.<br>

1) (at least the option for) Finger-friendly checkboxes. I don't like Hildon checkboxes, and this 3-way one is microscopic! I'd actually like to see a focus-magnify thing like the Palm address book has.<br>2) Subtasks!<br>
