Thanks for the correction, Jimmy. I don't use tasks very much and just
assumed the instructions worked.
I guess one could link a task to a calendar event, which will sync to the
iPhone. Of course, that sort of defeats the point of having a task.
When you say the iPhone cannot sync notes to Entourage, I assume you are not
talking about the Notes field in the iPhone calendar, which does sync to the
note field in Entourage calendar events.
All of my Entourage notes (the ones in the Notes module) are associated with
various projects in Project Center. Since I don't expect Project Center to
sync to iPhone, that's not a problem for me. I
I don't use the Notes app on iPhone, though I can see how it would be nice
if it sync'd to the Entourage Notes module. I wonder if it's being ignored
because of it's limited functionality, e.g., notes can't be linked to
calendar events, contacts, etc., although at least they can be emailed.

You can sync tasks by following instructions here: http://bit.ly/JKJzm
Hold on there, this info is incorrect. There is no way to sync tasks
between Entourage and the iPhone using Sync Services, because the
Calendar on the iPhone does not carry over tasks from iCal on the
desktop. The iPhone Calendar syncs ONLY events, not tasks.
The only way to get tasks on the iPhone is through 3rd party
applications. I have stopped using Entourage for tasks/to-dos, but the
solution I use can hook up with Entourage. I use the Appigo app Todo,
which stores tasks locally on the iPhone and syncs with the Web
service Toodledo.com. Toodledo has an iCal subscription feature which
syncs their to-do list with iCal, and if you have Sync Services on,
this info will apparently sync tasks back to Entourage. However, iCal/
Entourage sync can cause you huge headaches, whether it's Entourage
2004 or 2008--search this forum for evidence. Also, Toodledo's
solution does not encrypt or password-protect your tasks.
FYI, the iPhone has no built-in note application that can sync through
to Entourage either. Toodledo.com has a notebook that syncs to the
iPhone app Notebook, also from Appigo, and I have migrated my 300+
notes out of Entourage and into Toodleo.com notebook/Appigo Notebook.
As I have complained elsewhere, Microsoft could easily solve the
problem of syncing ALL of Entourage with the iPhone. There are a lot
of different ways that a lot of Web and iPhone developers are filling
the gap. But Microsoft is not stepping up (to be fair, neither is
Apple), so I am in the process of leaving Entourage altogether,
because of the iPhone and because of some Entourage limitations on the
desktop as well.
