If you have one of these two devices do you use it to keep track of what categories you've filled? If so, what app do you use? I'd like a portable list to keep track of what holes I need to plug, but don't want the battery drain of using my new iTouch's wifi.

I use a spreadsheet at Google Docs. If I'm going to a bookstore with no wi-fi, I just take a screenshot of the webpage and look at it in the Photos app.

You can look at your thread online as well. I can manage that on my BlackBerry, so I assume it's easier with the iTouch or iPhone because of the better surfing capabilities.

It's possible, yes, but web access seems to have limited zoom capabilities. (And wifi seems to be a big drain on the battery life.)

Right, it's not ideal. It's slow on my Blackberry, and I do have to zoom in a couple of times. But maybe it works as a stopgap until you can find something you like better (and at least you don't have to update a second list). It works for me because I don't need to access my list on a portable device all that often.
