I found a Web to Outlook to iPod technology that allows Football Schedules, events listed on whatsonwhen, weather, itineraries to be clicked into Outlook. Infuzer (http://www.infuzer.com) also works with Palm and Lotus.
Also some guy has developed a Palm Datebook to iPod sync program called PalmPod 1.x at http://sapennin.com
