GTD with your BlackBerry and NextAction! [Ian's Messy Desk]
NextAction! 2.0 has been released.
I’ve been using NextAction! with my BlackBerry for about a year. NextAction! is a utility that works with the built-in BlackBerry task list. NextAction! provides an interface that facilitates the next action approach of GTD.
Today, S4BB Limited sent out this announcement:
We are proud to announce the final release of “NextAction! 2.0 Falcon”.
The new version of NextAction! has been completely redesigned according to the great feedback of our current NextAction! customers. The interface is more easy to use and you can do nearly every action with a shortcut on your BlackBerry’s keyboard. As the one and only GTD application for the BlackBerry platform NextAction! now allows you to improve your productivity more than ever!
Please find a description of the new version and its improved or added features below as well as a link to the new version. For your convenience we have also added a short list of recommended productivity products at the end of this email.

As Falcon operates with your BlackBerry’s internal task database, you can synchronize your tasks with your desktop computer. It does not matter if you are using Microsoft Windows (2000, XP, Vista) or Mac OS X.
Setting up your desktop to synchronize with your BlackBerry (and vice versa) is very easy. A Windows setup guide for this is covered by your BlackBerry’s manual. Anyway, there are two very good manuals available that cover this topic:
By setting this up all of your tasks in NextAction! can be synchronized to your installation of Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, Act!, Novell Groupwise, iCal, Entourage, etc.
If you’re looking for a way to overcome some of the limitations of the BlackBerry for processing the GTD system, check out NextActions!.
