DoBeDo: To-do widget gets big update
DoBeDo is a nifty Dashboard widget that displays iCal to-dos, and allows them to be added, marked as done or edited (see an earlier Hawk Wings post for more details and screenshots).
The developer has just released an updated version with a large number of new and improved features.
It now supports iCal groups and provides basic URL support. Keyboard shortcuts are more consistent and the to-do sorting options are better behaved.
Tasks can now be moved across calendars and takes with future due dates can be hidden.
It adds another skin (or theme) to the existing options, a wide format that matches the Calendar widget (pictured, slightly reduced).
Printing improvements include a print button on the front of the widget and print-outs titled with the list’s name. Users can choose a default printer or send the list to a PDF in Preview.
The developer has also included various speed and memory optimisations.
It’s a nice piece of work and it’s freeware as well. You can get it from the developer’s web site

How does this compare to Backpack/Ta-Da Lists (over at 37signals)?

Bob, I should have been clearer in my post. It displays iCal to-dos, so it’s partly a Web 1.0 vs. Web 2.0 thing, with all the advantages vs. disadvantages that debate involves. :)

For those interested in Basecamp integration, there are at least three widgets out there, including one we developed: Sundial. Sundial makes it easy to track time against projects in Basecamp.
