Moving to Pocket Informant for Android - thoughts?

I remember using Pocket Informant back in the day with great success so pretty excited to try it out again. Hoping to get some thoughts or lessons learned from other Toodledo-ers on the Android platform. Good, bad, some issues? PI still full of awesomeness?

In particular, the Android version is weak in two features that are very powerful in the iOS version: timezones, and tasks. I won't bore you with the details - but believe me, the iOS version (v2.x)far outperforms Android (currently 1.5x beta). BUT yesterday (Jan 25 2012) WebIS announced a new product, PI Online. So far, they have not released many details, but it looks like (i) it'll cost $15 - $25 per year; (ii) it'll allow you to sync your events & tasks to ALL of your devices (iPhone, Android, iPad); (iii) it's not just a backup/sync service, you'll be able to login on your desktop, and organize events & tasks from there. I am hoping that it'll be like a combination of Google calendar and Toodledo. AND, if is IS like that, I hope that PI Android will soon be able to handle timezones & tasks just as well as the iOS version does it now. Check their website.
