I really appreciate the idea of putting everything in a trusted place (PDA for me) so you have access to it easily and don't have to keep track in your head. Really reduces stress.

Some of it is a bit too complicated for my needs... e.g. contexts like "@home" or "@work" or "@online" is something that I just can't keep track of properly which made it useless for my purposes.
You might want to look into Zen to Done, which is Leo Babauta's "minimalist" take on GTD. He put it together specifically to address what he felt was too complicated about GTD and to simplify it to the basic elements.
