It's interesting, I wanted to teach myself iOS development and the best way for me was to come up with a project and see it to the end. My project was location aware reminders. I wasn't going to get rich or anything, just was solving a problem I had and learning a new framework/environment.

Seeing Apple's new Reminders app has really de-motivated me to finish it. Also before you point out TaskAve or any others, I only learnt about them today, in this thread. I purposely didn't go looking for location aware reminder apps as I knew it would de-motivate me to finish mine, and hence not learn what I wanted.

Although I can't miss reading what is coming in iOS 5 :)

Oh well, I'll have to think of something else to keep me interested.
