One of those might do the job you want. You could also try iPDA (another iPod utility) and iCalMaker, an app that manipulates iCal data in a number of useful ways.

Although it doesn't put your todos in the order you described, it at least knows which todos are uncompleted. Yeah, I don’t use itunes to put my todos in there, I use pod2go.

I just got an ipod and was annoyed to find all my to-dos in ALPHABETICAL order...how useless is that?

After listing them, you can possibly pick one of them to show the rest of its info (notes, due date, etc.) and also mark them as complete. Anyone know how to script this?

That's why you need to change the "tell Quicksilver" block to something on your computer. In this case (at least for the "event" script) the only thing QuickSilver is asked to do is to "activate" ... I don't get that. All that does is mess up the display of the dialog (at least when run from Script Editor). I suggest simply removing the "tell application "QuickSilver" to activate" line. Now it's compatible with everything and seems to function better. AppleScript needs to at least “know who the players are” when it loads a script.
