I don’t know how important this news is really to a lot of people, but personally this can be a godsend and so this post goes out to the few people who want better control over their to do lists. So what’s the dope? GMail has taken a lab product and made it better and more accessible for all users with the new Tasks feature.

From today whenever we log on to our Gmail we will see a small feature lying in between Labels and Chat Box. Welcome Tasks to your inbox.

According to Google, one doesn’t need to turn it on through labs anymore and can be accessed straightaway. And they haven’t spared a lot of features while doing this, this is what the Gmail blog had to say,

We’ve been continually improving Tasks since it first launched in Labs. We believe simple and fast is best, so we’ve been working to make Tasks more responsive and get basic interactions working better: we’ve added mobile and gadget views, made improvements to task editing and management, launched in more languages, and integrated with Google Calendar. We’ve also added a printable view for those people compelled to do things away from their computers or mobile devices.

Personally, mobile and gadget views, and Calender integration to go with the email integration when Tasks were first introduced in labs last year are the most killer features. Check the video Google has put up to know more about tasks.
