I'm not sure if I'd call it exactly "easy", since Palm Desktop just happens to omit header lines when exporting Calendar, ToDos and Memos by Tab & Return, but does include one for Address Book. You might be able to manage Address Book (contacts), if that's all you need, by simply importing the Tab & Return text files into Entourage - but you'll lose categories and carriage returns in addresses and notes. I haven't checked yet whether iCal can import tab/text files, but I doubt it can do anything without the header lines. You can get all those included, plus calendar, ToDos (tasks) and memos (notes) with my Export-Import Entourage X scripts (shareware). From there, you can export contacts with _all_ fields to Address Book with my Sync Entourage-Address Book script, and iCal imports Entourage calendar and tasks directly without any intervention. You might find other ways to do this too.
