Editor’s note: I have not tested reQall again for a while, this information comes from the press release.

Features include (from the versions on the iPhone and BlackBerry as of March 2009) :

• Enhanced Memory Jogger –patent-pending feature, analyzes a user’s situation (calendar, time, location), predicts when they’ll forget, and automatically delivers relevant, up-to-the-minute reminders.
• Places – Organizes tasks based on where they need to be done. For example, a task such as “try the cake at the Blue restaurant” can be assigned to a geo-location of “Blue restaurant” and reQall will display that item when the user is near the Blue restaurant.
• Outlook and Google Calendar integration –synchronization that lets users add items by voice or text to their Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar or Outlook Tasks.
• Recurring reminders
• Universal sharing – ability to send reminders to friends, family and colleagues—even if they’re not reQall users.
