I don't really like the look of music skins, though I did see something like that with the Tokyo subway map. That was cool :D

Things is expensive but definitely the worth the $! It's an awesome GTD application. Anyone who needs task management should use it.

I love "Things". It´s just the right balance between complex and effective To-Do-Software. I was trying OmniFocus, but it was more expensive and I realized I would spend more time organizing my things rather than getting them done.
Also, they offer a 20% discount for early adopters until the 15th, if I am not mistaken :)

I don't really get the skins. You pay to put them on, but then after some time I am sure you will get bored and want another one... So then you take the old one off and buy a new one. Oh! I know... so you pay more $$$ :D
As for the amp it looks cool and I guess it is saving electricity, but what about the sound though? :rolleyes:

sorry, but as much as I love things, it has a learning curve. Therefore, it fails miserably as casual 'GTD' software. Don't hype it up, since it doesn't do what it says (i.e: you have to read the tutorial/spend 30 minutes figuring out how it works before it does...miserable, lazy and over-hyped attempt)...and yes, I've used the new version and iPhone version.
