We've built a web service called Mentat to help integrate personal task management with collaborative team projects, especially for small businesses and entrepreneurs. I saw that you have to manually enter the tasks from Jott into Vitalist, so I think you might be excited to hear that our system has complete Jott integration and will automatically create new "tasks" for you in your Mentat todo list. You can use Jott to capture a task from your cellphone via a voice call, and browse and update tasks if you have an iPhone (and soon on other mobile clients as well). Being able to manage all of this within one simple application, from the desk or on the move has really been a boost for our productivity. Mentat is available as a free web service for personal users. A richer feature set can be purchased at low monthly rates for small teams&businesses. Large corporate options are also available. You can read a more complete overview of the Mentat product at our corporate website: http://www.brainmurmurs.com/products/mentat/ Feel free to test drive Mentat now. We're up and running! http://mentat.brainmurmurs.com Hello,

I submitted a request to reserve a Grand Central number, so as soon as they open up to new users I will give it a try. I'm sure I could use this number for incoming calls. Unfortunately, I use Jott when I'm not at the computer, so this tends to be outgoing calls, not incoming. However, with myFaves, it's not a problem thus far. Thanks Darren.

It might help your Fave 5 issue. http://tinyurl.com/2dp747 Only thing is, since Google bought GC, there are no new accounts at the moment.
