Migrating from blackberry to windows mobile phone. Comming from a
mature blackberry based GTD system. Please help me get a feel for how
MLO allows me to handle:

1) What features do not work on the mobile version but require the
desktop – is there a metric indicating this?
2) Quick review of past items. Is there a way on the mobile
application to quickly run through past/overdue items , select an
appropriate action (update date, snooze, mark complete…). This is a
critical capability in a functional GTD system.

Hi Bluesky94!

1) PocketPC does not required desktop in general and can be used as
standalone product.
However due to limitations of the mobile platforms (including the
screen size) the following desktop features do not work on mobile:
- Customization of the views. Only most common predefined views are
available on mobile
- Rules based and custom formatting
- Flags (however starred tasks and starred view are in plans for
mobile platform and desktop)
- Customize columns in views
- ... others can add if I forgot anything.

2) There is a view on PPC "By due date" where you can review all
overdue tasks and take needed action.

Andrey.
