There also seems to be a ton of apps and plugins out there to convert iCal to Outlook or other calendar tools so I'd just google whatever you are using. Not sure about getting it onto your Nano though...never really looked at that on a PC (calendar sync that is). I'm pretty sure my wife's Outlook was setup to sync with her iPod on her PC....but she's all web based now so she doesn't use Outlook anymore so I can't even check that. There will be a lot of other calendar methods for tracking SXSW that are web based. This particular solution just works great for me and my iPhone. Wifi at the conference has always been sketchy due to the volume of users...I'd rather not have to rely on it working to know where I need to be next.

I have an ipod, but it's a nano 2nd gen and I find the screen too small to be effective for text. :) ical is all lovely and such, but is there a PC version?
