Have you looked at VueMinder Calendar?

https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=24113.0
and
http://www.vueminder.com/index.php?page=lite-and-pro-feature-comparison

I have just started to use it and it seems to have the 4 things you are looking for. The generous discount in the above post is over but there is a free lite version, 60 day trial for the Pro and upgrade programs.  Says it will import & export Outlook files.  Haven't tried it yet.

dantheman:
I'm not quite familiar with Outlook but i hope this can help.

Resophnotes a Windows note taking app. It's small but not small enough to be in DCF but says it can import Outlook .csv
It syncs to a service called Simplenoteapp.com which will sync to your Apple gizmo.

The author just recently updated it so i guess it will in for the ride for a while.

SKA:
Resophnotes terms of use look very peculiar

Good old HUP.. :)

And correct me if I am wrong, but neither Microsoft Mail nor iPod touch has any native tasks support, correct? I don't care about syncing mail. What I care about is tasks, notes, calendar items, and contacts, pretty much in that order.

Actually the iPod touch does have support for calendar and contacts - those were my two prerequesities that turned me away from Android and forced my hand to an iPhone - I had the touch and knew it would work with the iPhone too without forcing me to change to it (i.e. switching to GMail for everything).  Not positive about notes or tasks, as I don't really use that feature, but I think it does (I set calendar items in place of tasks and notes I only access on my device, not on my PC).  It is all done through iTunes, which I am not thrilled with, but is functional enough.

EDIT:  If you can wait about 10 more hours, I will set a reminder to check it out when I get home from work to verify that you can, indeed sync Notes and Tasks as well.  I will check in then as well with that info.

I appreciate that, and there is no urgency at all. While you are at it, if it does sync tasks, can you make sure it doesn't just dump them in the calendar, a "solution" I've seen in other places. I had the impression there were no native tasks on the Apple products to sync to, I will be happy if I am wrong.
