It blows my mind that the functionality of his programs are better then some applications found today. His first example; A task list with drag and drop nesting ability (there's an app for that). Groups the items by location (It think I saw something like that in iOS 5). With a click it shows his route how with quick links at each location to the items he needs to pickup (I haven't heard of an app for that).

Seriously, how is this not built into my cell phone yet?
