[Feature Request] Adding task by entering text only

lancefu Pro says:

Ever since I bought my iPhone and start using Mac, what I missed the most on Windows is that I can open Launchy and enter "rtm Pick up milk tomorrow" and that's it. (Thanks to Lifehacker. Check out this post if you're wondering how: http://lifehacker.com/5197116/remember-the-milk-for-launchy-adds-tasks-in-a-flash) All it does is to send a direct message to @rtm on Twitter and add task automatically.

I'd like to see similar things in RTM app. My initial idea is to replace the incomplete/complete bar with a text bar with a send button on the right end, similar to the one in Messages app (where you send sms and text message). From there, we can enter task, location, date and maybe tag by entering "pick up milk at Safeway tomorrow tag: shopping_list" and it's done. The app will input the corresponding text to the fields it belongs to. It can greatly reduce the time it takes to add tasks.

Another suggestion, we can currently check tasks Today, Tomorrow, and This Week. Why not This Month? I like how Calendar app looks like, like a normal monthly calendar. Just put the total number of tasks incomplete for each day at the corner. If user taps on a date, app brings us to the whole list of tasks for that specific date. It will be a great default screen. ( I mean the first thing you'll see upon opening the rtm app. )

Thanks.
