Review: Tasker
Tasker is an amazing application for the Android platform.
Basically, you’re able to se up automated tasks (called profiles) for different conditions. EX: for a particular location, say work or school, automatically switch to vibrate.There are some really cool instances of this tool at play.
Here’s what’s missing (other than a website that doesn’t suck – actually, the UI in general needs work):
- An ecosystem. What would be really, really cool would be the ability to build and share profiles in a totally seamless way. Created an automated way of reading your calendar and sending happy birthday emails? Great. Throw it in the so-called task-market (for dollars) or task-pool (for reputation). You earn either, and I get added functionality on my phone.
Executed correctly, this could fill in the gap for an Android innovation engine.
