Essentially here are the steps to get your task reminders: -Enter reminder and set alarm (ie "Pick up dry cleaning, 6pm alarm" -Your phone has to tell a server farm to let it know that you need to get your dry cleaning at 6pm. -At 6pm you get notification you should get your dry cleaning (assuming you aren't in a dead spot) -You go in and check off that you got your dry cleaning. -RTM has to go and alert the server farm that you got your dry cleaning. -You are hailed as a hero at home for remembering the dry cleaning. It's great that there are finally task alarms, it just seems so overly complicated. I know an IM app will drain the battery, but a small alarm?

-Your phone has to tell a server farm to let it know that you need to get your dry cleaning at 6pm.
-At 6pm you get notification you should get your dry cleaning (assuming you aren’t in a dead spot)
-You go in and check off that you got your dry cleaning.
-RTM has to go and alert the server farm that you got your dry cleaning.
-You are hailed as a hero at home for remembering the dry cleaning.
