Ah, the humble task list. For such a simple concept, Google has made it surprisingly difficult to use their task list service. You can pull it up in Gmail, and add it as a widget in iGoogle, but there doesn't seem to be a standard way to use the task list on it's own. Even Android users have been left out in the cold with no kind of official task list widget or app. Thankfully there are at least two ways to get access to more fully featured, stand alone Google Tasks lists.
