I use GTD with Tracks, an open source and web-based Getting Things Done implementation. The new version, 1.5, is particularly awesome.
http://www.rousette.org.uk/projects/ Once I can persuade my Neo1973 to access the internet, my own Tracks site will no doubt be the most frequently visited site on the device. I always have a Firefox tag open with Tracks in while I'm at my computer. Hosted options exist, and the 1.5 version includes a mobile interface (that I haven't tried out yet). Justyn.
