For now, The Missing Sync is the only solution (and it is not a perfect
one).
With it, you can use either the Microsoft-supplied Entourage conduit, or use
the Mark/Space Contacts, Events, and Tasks conduits. The latter conduits
look at calendars in Sync Services (including Entourage) to get data. The
advantage with this is that if you use iCal for another reason (for example,
I think Quicken and some other applications create their own calendars in
iCal), you can sync those items into your Treo. However, I¹ve still found
some quirks with them and syncing (especially with Tasks). These conduits
also support the Location field in Entourage Calendar entries (which the MS
one does not).
I¹ve still found some quirks I¹ve reported to Markspace. I expect that
updated versions of these conduits will provide better support. For example,
priority of Tasks don¹t always map exactly to the Palm OS. And Entourage
Categories are not supported. If you want to be completely safe, use the
Entourage conduit. I use the Mark/Space conduits, but I usually have the Mac
overwrite the handheld.
