offline use with ipod touch
cotik says:
is there any way to "use" RTM without internet on an ipod touch?
Even with the extra app +pro account or calendar or RTM through gcal through other calendar?
Any solutions really appreciated since im really interested in buying one.

you mean it works without an internet connection?
Can you sync it when connected and then use it without internet?
The reminders work without internet?

Without any internet ever? No, sorry.
I use wifi at work and home and that is how it updates. I apologize for not reading your question correctly.
The reminders come via IM or email, and this will not work without a network connection.
One could bring the RTM iCal files into iCal and sync them from iCal to the touch. I think this would bring over reminders, but they would be for every task, which is not so useful. And they would be read only.

excuse me for being vague.
I didnt mean without internet ever. What i mean is : you sync when you have internet and the when you dont you can see/edit your tasks and (maybe) receive alerts. Finally when you have internet again you resync and update any changes made.
To what extent is this possible?

It is possible to edit everything, add tasks, modify existing task, create folders, create tabs, practically everything without an internet connection. Now, to sync, you need an internet connection. Aso for reminders, you need internet because they work through email or texting. What most people do is check their tasks and if you're going to be in an area where there is no access to internet. put your own reminders in the calendar application in the iPod.

I am referring to the RTM application included in the PRO account. The one you download from iTunes

Cotik: The answer to your specific question is YES
You can do all of your work offline, without the Internet, and then whenever you are connected to the Internet, you click the Sync button and it synchronises with the online version of RTM. Anything you've done online comes down to the iPhone/iPodTouch and vice-versa.
On the iPhone/iPodTouch itself all of the work is done offline within the application. It is not a webapp. You synchronise with it afterwards.
My wife has an iPod Touch and only has access to WiFi when she's home. She does 90% of her work offline.

thank you! you have been of great help. Does your wife find the touch useful? Im considering one.

I have an ipod touch and remember the milk is one of the best apps for it. Now, after installing RTM for my touch, I find that my Blackberry use has dropped considerably. Definitely worth the cost of a pro account.
I am not his wife, but I will chime in to say I think the iPod touch is the handiest gadget I have ever owned. I did not want the monthly bill of an iPhone (and I have a cell through work), so it's a perfect adjunct. It does so many things, battery life is good, and it's a great platform for RTM, among other things. I think the refurbished 8GB units are one of the best values in the whole electronics market.

The iphone app finally made me start using RTM, as well as sign up as a pro user. But unfortunately, the fonts are way too large on the iphone, and it appears to be one of those problems that really needs fixing...

i'm another ipod touch owner/user of rtm. great app, and one of the reasons i got the ipod touch (i'm another that didn't really need an iphone enough to justify extra monthly fees). even when i'm not in a wifi connected place i find myself adding/editing tasks which will sync up once i have a connection. also, the ipod touch itself is awesome, highly recommend it.
