Is there any way to link my to do list in OneNote to that of Outlook? Having
double reminders is getting annoying. Also, I can then have the to do items I
created in OneNote in my pocket pc.

Not really, no. You can create Outlook tasks from OneNote, but they aren't
linked. That is a popular feature request for a future version, tho.

Outlook Linker:
Available at: http://www.teamscope.com/otherpro/freeutil.asp#linker
From the site: Outlook Linker™ provides the ability to generate links to
other items in Outlook. It is a system tray applet that
automatically generates a hyperlink for the current folder or item
(message) and places it on the clipboard. The hyperlink can then be
pasted into any MS Office document, Web page, e-mail message, etc
This is fundamental to the efficient and productive use of shared
items in a Exchange public folder system. Unfortunately, Microsoft
has not provided a convenient way to get access to these links

This app does almost the same thing as ClipName except it does it for
items within Outlook instead of files. It works a little differently as
well. Once installed like any other program, you must have Outlook
running before you can start the app. When you do start the app it sits
in your task tray waiting. You select an item in Outlook then right-click
on the icon in the task tray and choose a menu item for your preferred
format. (You can also set options for double-click actions as well.) This
places a link string in the clipboard based on the format you have
chosen.

Since it can't be started unless Outlook is running you can't just put
it in your StartUp folder. What I do is put it on my QuickLaunch bar
right next Outlook's QuickLaunch icon. Then, when I need to create a
link, I can easily start the app from my QuickLaunch bar and then use it
from my Task Tray. When using it remember that you have to select the
Outlook item but not open it in order to correctly create the link.

Note that this just lets you create a link from OneNote to an item in
Outlook. It does not keep them synchronized in any.
