I'm surprised he included the app's resources (icon, etc.) under the BSD license -- rewriting the data store to use iCloud instead of his service (where Cheddar makes money, but also the source of many complaints in reviews) while keeping the UI would make a quick (though somewhat seedy) buck on the App Store.

It's not a big idea, because if you use iCloud, you can't have a webapp that use Cheddar, you can use only on iOS devices and Mac OS X, that would be a HUGE limit. I love the webapp, and I like the idea that multiplatforms clients can be made in fucture (windows, wp7, android, etc...)

There are plenty of todo apps for syncing to every device you own. Atleast I would pay $1.99 for a gorgeous, dead-simple to use todo list just for my iOS devices (that works offline too).

Apologies for blatant plug but it feels on topic.

If you are willing to pass up on the gorgeous you could give my app a try http://iTunes.com/apps/fastlists

Reusable tick able lists for things like shopping and packing. Functional rather than beautiful and import/export by email (no syncing yet). No ads yet (there will be a cheap no-ads in-app purchase when it does have ads).
