The latest software from S4BB, a superlative developer of BlackBerry applications has managed to come out with an application called the Taskmaster. As the name suggests, the Taskmaster aims at doing one thing, which is to remind the user to get things done. The task services that comes as standard with the BlackBerry hand held devices does not offer as much ease to services as the
Taskmaster does.

The tasks scheduler that comes as standard with BlackBerry devices however does allow the user to assign tasks for the mobile phone to remind, and one can also set it up with alarms such that the user does not neglect the reminder. The Taskmaster however has more superior solutions to these complications.

First thing one can notice when switching on the application from the BlackBerry handheld, is the relative simplicity in the interface and approach to the entire development of this application. Form following function is kept as the key mantra while designing the application. Some of the key features that make this Taskmaster stand out from the competition and also the ones that set it apart from the standard task scheduler in the BlackBerry include the ability that the application provides the user for one click categorization.

The categories that the tasks must fall under can be described to one’s interests and say if one wants to shift a task from the “to do at home list” to the “to do at office list”, all one has to do is press a single button that does the job for the user. Also included in the application is excellent synchronization of the Taskmaster with computer software such as Microsoft outlook, iCal, Entourage and many more. Such a facility can be a boon to the user as he/she does not have to reenter the data on the computer again.

The font sizes of the task entries can be adjusted so that one can see more in a single viewing and also the due dates for the entered tasks can be set to be displayed in the task listing are itself. The hotkey selection feature also enhances the concept of saving time for the user. If a variety of tasks have to be performed on a particular day, the default date can be set to that date so that reentry is not required.

With some bug fixes also included, the Taskmaster proves to be one of the most stable and efficient task scheduling applications out there to date for the BlackBerry handheld. The TaskMaster is available at a discounted price of $19.99 brought down from the printed price of $29.99
