Shawn Blanc on Things for the iPhone:

Things on the iPhone is only about as good as it is fast.
…
I do not use Things on my iPhone to manage my shopping list when out on errands. I use it almost exclusively as my parking lot. Regardless if I’m in a meeting, at Wal-Mart, or waiting for the oil to be changed, there is no way to tell when a thought will pop into my head. When it does, I need a place to drop it.

I used to jot those thoughts onto the palm of my hand.

I use Things for the iPhone in exactly the same way, and I assume most other people do, too. But what is most interesting about Things for the iPhone is that while it is fast — you can add a new to-do with one-tap almost everywhere in the application — it also has most of the desktop application’s power.

There’s been discussion on whether the iPhone should be a platform just for simple, single-use applications, or also for applications with “desktop-like” features. Things for the iPhone is an example of how an application can do both, without compromising either use-case.
