Best to-do list app?

I'm looking for a to-do list or organizer app that supports the following features:

1. Has a web interface
2. Has an iPhone app
3. The app and web interface should sync together
4. Allows you to set due dates and times on each item
5. Syncs with Google Calendar so the items are visible on it
6. Can pop up reminders on my iPhone (push notifications or calendar integration) and/or email me at a preset time (5 min, 1 hour, etc) before the event
7. Free

It looks like Remember the Milk does many of these (not sure about reminders on the phone though), but costs money. I know $25/year isn't much, but I wanted to see if anyone knows of free alternatives that can do this. Closest I've found is ReQall, but their iPhone app is pretty crappy and their pop-up reminders (via push notifications) are silent, which kind of defeats the purpose.


 
I just searched 'google calendar' in the app store and came up with at least 5 apps that were free. Granted they weren't rated very well. Seems to me if you want a solid app that does what you want you need to pay something for it.

It's funny you mention Google Calendar, because I just found Google Tasks, which integrates nicely with Google Calendar, works (through the browser) on the iPhone, is free, and does just about everything I need. Problem solved 🙂


EDIT ---> No notifications w/ google tasks. Damn.

Your calendar should notify you of events as long as you have the reminder set up.

It does for normal events that I add to Google Calendar, but not for those that come from Google Tasks.

Wait, can't you set up google tasks to email you? Then you can just set your email to push and then you have notifications.

Maybe I'm missing it, but I don't see any sort of notifications (email/IM/popup) in Google Tasks...
