So. the thing to be careful of is that the Palm todo list is anemic and
doesn't have the metadata needed to really track things. The "right" way
to do this, I _think_ is to make an RT to ical (RFC2445) sync tool,
since everything supports 2445 these days.   Of course, the treo has
network. Which begs the question of why not just build a stripped down
web ui for the treo?
