re: being able to print……..i am an admin for a pastor who still uses quite a bit of hard copy and the ability to print his task list would be huge…….does anyone know if they are planning to add this functionality to tasks?

Have you noticed what you can’t do with this very early and oh so lame task list?

Prioritize.
Print.
Set date reminders.
Set time reminders.
Link to an event.
Link to gcal.
Sort.
Tag.
Share with coworkers.

In other words and in comparison to every other existing task program or website, the only thing you can do with google tasks is waste your time. Let us know when this toy grows up.

This silly little blog post would have been more intellectually honest if it focused on what tasks don’t do rather than woopiedo you move a task to a different list. But then, this is a blog and there is no expectation of intellectual honesty or journalism in a blog blather.

I tried this for a bit, but now I switched back to RememberTheMilk, which I use through the XML feed (in Gmail > Settings > Gadgets, if you have gadgets anabled in Labs). Main reason for this is that GTasks stays in GMail, while RTM has better integration so that I can see my tasks without necessarily being on my email.
I might check it again at a later stage if they come up with better integration (say, the ability of adding tasks from within GReader, GCal and external apps as well)
