The iPad has now pretty much taken over as my primary GTD tool.
- OmniFocus for my list manager (areas of focus, projects and next actions, plus checklists and the like)
- Dropbox and Evernote for much of my reference and project-support material (early days with Evernote, but it's looking promising)
- iThoughtsHD for mind mapping (also early days, but looking good so far)
- Mail, Calendar, Contacts and 1Password for...well, you get it...
- Quickoffice for online/offline viewing and editing of word-processing documents, spreadsheets and presentations
- Ignition/LogMeIn for remote access of my other computers
Hope that helps!
Evernote (EN) user for I think at least 2 years.
Like the concept of reminders on iOS (generated from Tasks in Outlook [OL] for me).
I'm hoping that iOS reminders become more refined and flexible. I can't even figure out how the reminders are prioritized/sorted on the screen. Also a reminder created in iOS does not have a "due date" in OL.
I thought I had read that EN is planning on creating a due date function. This may really take EN to a new level for GTD'rs. Now if EN had a calendar, I might do away with OL altogether and just use my EN email address for everything.
but if you don't, pick something simpler e.g. Things, any outliner, etc.
If you are asking about no palm anymore, you may want simplest thing possible, which is not omnifocus.
my 3c (inflation).
The PI app for the iPhone gets you a full sync with Outlook. There is category sync with Outlook for Tasks and Notes. The Calendar is as it's supposed to look and not at all like the native iPhone look.

I think OmniFocus' learning curve is worth the trip!
It's a little complicated but not really. Outcomes & next actions.
I came to my present system from Outlook synced to a Treo. On the iPad/iPhone I've chosen apps to function as those Outlook components. I like these tools better because they REALLY sync to the desktop.
Calendar - Apple iCal
Lists - OmniFocus; specifically runway & 10-20,000 foot horizons
Email - Apple Mail
Contacts - Apple Address Book
Notes - Evernote & 1Password
OmniFocus and Mind Manager (action support & 30-50k horizons) are the places where most of my content resides.
On my iPad I use Toodledo for Tasks, Projects, etc and iThoughtHD for my MindMap project reference, checklists, etc. My general reference tool is Evernote. Between those three my system is pretty complete on the iPad and Toodledo/Evernote and to some extent MindMaps can also be down directly on any computer with an Internet connection and a browser.
What do you use besides an iPad? If you are a mac user, Omnifocus is very, very good. If not, Toodledo is serviceable.
