You can create lists of things you need to get done and check off tasks as they’re completed.Fore more info on Tasks please read about it at Google Labs.
How to use Tasks on the iPhone. Follow the tutorial and you will be able to use them in no time.
Set up iGoogle page
FSM EXCLUSIVE DEAL Some of you might already have this one. But if you dont use the iGoogle page , this can be done by going to http://www.google.com/ig and logging in with your google account details. By the way, this is on your computer’s browser. The i in iGoogle is not the same as the i in iPhone ( is it? i always thought that the i in every mac product stands for internet, so it might be the same ) . And dont expect your iGoogle page to look like the in the pic below . That is just a iGoogle theme i use.
Somewhere ( usually on the right side below the search bar ) you will see Add Stuff . Click on that, and you will get a new page full of shiney things. Make sure your on the Gadgets Tab and search for Tasks . It should be the first one in the list. Click on the button below Tasks thats says Add it now.
After you added the gadget, return to your iGoogle page, and your should see the gadget right below the google search field.This page works very well as a Start Page when you start your browser instead of the plain old google page. Once a task is created or updated on your phone, it will sync to igoogle. Wherever you login to this page, your tasks will be available to you.
