Google Tasks

I have been working with Google Tasks, which is kind of an add-in to gmail and calendar.  The compeling feature was the integration with Google calendar.  Like most Google apps, it doesn't have a whole bunch of features.  What it does have is a simple integration with the apps I'm most likely to use, a straightforward interface, and availability.  I'm think of dropping Nozbe, because 1) the price is right, as are the other features I've just mentioned.  The only thing I miss is the ability to factor tasks into at least two components, ala GTD.  By this I mean GTD will have you factor tasks according to collections of tasks (projects), and where the tasks might occur (contexts).  I see only one dimension in the Google Tasks app.  However, this is a minor complaint and will not stop me from using it.  It's now time to get back to those tasks.
