Rather than an iCal thought, it’s an iPod thought: but that’s because I just replaced my broken iPod with a brand new Video one and the synched Calendars and Tasks just shine on the new larger and colourful screen! Most of the reasoning behind Merlin’s suggestion to drop info and directions in the Notes field apply 100%, you can check your iPod on the road and see directions and notes while you are stuck or in doubt - it’s nearly as good as paper.

The only problem so far is the ToDo list that’s all mixed together. I have a number of Calendars (for contexts, projects, etc.) with associated ToDos, but on the iPod I cannot see a single list, unless I am missing something. That’s bad, it would be great to just jump to the “ToDo - Phone” list to pick one of those calls left to do when you have a handset next to you.
