I have a countless amount of tasks on my iCal to-do list, but they never sync with my device. At first, I thought it was just something that I needed to to to make it work, but no, it was never a feature.

Come on, Apple! How hard would it be to add a "Tasks" section in Calendar? Post your thoughts on this! Thanks.
 
I would agree that a solution without MobileMe would be nice. Another reason I still have my .Mac account. My ToDo's sync up just fine when they are created under "MobileMe" and not under "On My Mac."

get a gmail account and setup iCalDav on your mac and you iphone so they will sync over air. Works great.
 
If you want to fully sync your tasks between your mac, PC, and iPhone using the same open standard (CalDAV) that iCal (mac) and Mozilla Sunbird (PC) use, then check out eTask on the app store.

eTask allows you to view, edit, create, delete, and sync your Tasks on several popular Groupware (e-mail) servers. Currently these include: Kerio Mail Server (KMS), DAViCal, Oracle Beehive, Cosmo Chandler, Yahoo, and SOGo (for primary calendar folders only).

If you don’t have a Groupware server you can create a free account on Yahoo (see the web-site FAW page for details). Once setup you can use the web-interface, iCal/mail (mac), Thunderbird/Lightning or Sunbird from Mozilla.org (PC) to view and modify your tasks. Modifications to your tasks are automatically synchronized between all clients so you never have to take extra sync steps through iTunes or other special software.
