Comment iCal 1.5.2 new features still needed (Score 1) 98

I m looking to drum up some support for the improvement of task scheduling in iCal (which is really non existant). Date/appointment handling is adequate in iCal. However, the task handling is poor especially in the area of task scheduling. For those of us who have a large number of todo's the only real way of getting through them is to specify chunks of time in the calendar booking time with yourself to doa specific task. Palm Desktop has the right idea where you enter your tasks in the todo list and just drag the task "my important task" into an appropriate place in the calendar. Palm Desktop then creates an appropriate appointment called "Working On .. my important task" I am surprised to have such usability in the Palm desktop and even more surprised not to have a similar feature from the so called kings of usability Apple. For all those who have a similar requirement I would recommend they send feedback through iCal's application menu. Apple at least appears to take notice of feedback but however you have to get noticed in volume.
