BugMe
BugMe is quite possibly the most ingenious mobile app ever. It’s simply a digital post-it-pad that lets you scrawl a note and attach an alarm to go with it. You can even record a voice note to go with each scribble.
The alarm can be set for a specific interval (i.e. in 1/2 hr, 1 hr, etc) or for a specific date and time and when your phone alarm rings, it’ll flash your scribbled note to remind you of what you need to do. I use it to remind myself to move my car for street cleaning, feed the parking meter, call people and other random things that I always forget to do. Setting a reminder is just as easy as jotting a simple note, except now, they don’t get crumpled in my pocket or lost among all the other notes on my desk.

Ahhh … that is sweet. I wish there was a Java version for my Black Pearl (Arrrrrr!). Another nice feature would be to have recurring reminders (like to call my mom every wednesday). This turns the todo list into a kind of calendar … I’m not sure what the difference is at this point.
yep it does let you set recurring reminders on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis. It also lets you change the background color for your notes so you can use different colored notes for different types of things. It’s the hipster pda + an alarm clock! (except the hipster pda doesn’t run out of batteries so i guess there’s still something to be said for paper :-)
