Update: Cogitas Task List is now available on Android Market.

I’m working on a new Task List app for Android that evolves around a simple principle: its sole purpose is to encourage you to actually do the tasks.

To achieve this, there will be a limit to the number of tasks you can add and if you try to add more, you will be nicely told to do some before adding more… As well, when you click on “done” for a task, you will have a friendly surprise

The app will also include a widget so you can always see the top task from your home screen.

I started coding it this morning and I’m hoping to release v1.0 next week (look for Cogitas Task List in the market).

Speaking of Android apps, I published an upgrade to Big Words and Big Words Plus yesterday.

Other Android apps coming up:

• The previously announced RSS Reader app will be published in August.
• VocabuLab French will see a complete overhaul. I’ve pulled out the current version from the market because it was my first published app and there are so many things I want to change about it, I don’t think it deserves to be in the market at the moment. The new version will feature complete sentences and audio recordings as well as carrying on being a French basic vocabulary learning tool. I hope to publish it in late August or early September.
• I’m also working on an app that will simplify certain basic functions some users may use while driving (skip to next audio track etc) to make the use of Android at the wheel safer. I’m hoping to release this in late September or October.
