Check out this Remember the Milk extension that lets you manage your tasks from within Gmail. I have been using RTM for several months now and it is the only task list app that I have been able to stick with (beyond post-it notes). I am super impressed with the speed by which they develop the service and add interesting new extensions, like this Gmail one.
It may seem trivial but apps like this are very difficult to develop and expand because the requirement isn’t solely on feature richness but absolute simplicity and usability while delivering the feature set that users deem as essential plus the extras that give them “wow” moments.
Hideshi Hamaguchi turned me on to a really cool term to describe this, simplexity.
