I'm looking for an app that is free or cheap that can handle tasks based on a schedule or event.

For instance, when I turn my radio on in my car (connected via Bluetooth to my phone) or when my phone syncs up with my Garmin via bluetooth, it launches the Waze app.

That's not the only thing I'm looking to do, but things like this. Basically, the reminders/notifications app on crack. Does anything like this exist? There's an app called Tasker in the Android app store that (I think) can accomplish this.

Would highly prefer it to be a non-jailbroken app. Anything handle this?
 
Unfortunately iOS does not allow exactly what you want in terms of triggers by event, but you can kind of do scheduling. Launch Center Pro came out this week and let's you create scheduled shortcuts to certain apps and actions. I'd take a look and see if that fits what you want.
