I was very happy to learn this week about what’s coming soon in iPod land.

No, I’m not talking about the iPhone 2 (although I will be shopping for a new phone, and possibly a new plan, around Labor Day…).

Instead, I’m talking about word that Pocket Informant will soon be available for iPhones and iPod Touches upgraded to 2.0 firmware.

One of the characteristics of working in an organization as dynamic as my day job is, plus taking care of a disabled spouse, is that my schedule tends to be rather chaotic.  So, I rely on a PDA (and GTD strategy) to help keep my head straight about where I’m supposed to be when, and what I’m trying to accomplish next.

However, this means that I am usually laden with gadgets — a computer or two, a cell phone, a PDA…and potentially an iPod Touch.

I don’t actually carry my iPod with me that much.  It’s a pretty gadget, and I’m gradually becoming used to the interface.  Its WiFi is definitely better than my quirky Ipaq’s, and the iPod is definitely better as a portable music/video playing device.

Unfortunately the iPod standard calendar is barely adequate for my needs, and it lacks even a simple to-do list.   Thus, my iPod is relegated to the duty of keeping me amused while on the treadmill or exercise bike in the evening.

But, if a good calendar/task application is on its way for iPod, maybe I could reduce my gadget count by at least one.

I suppose this means I should hurry up and update my GTD pages to reflect my current configuration….
