You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Pros:
Really easy-to-use program, it let you have important information in your iPod. less bulky then modern PDA's. Syncs all of the data you would need for a PDA replacement.
Cons:
The main program icons, they're so mac, but if you're at a Windows enviroment... also, I'd love if there was a mac version of this program. The idea hinges on your ability to use the iPod controls for PDA functions, which is difficult.
Review:

iPodSync is a product that turns your iPod into PDA. With iPodSync, you can view your Outlook Contacts, Calendars, Tasks and Notes on your iPod.

iPodSync, a program by ICC, is an interesting idea. We've all seen the pervasiveness of iPods - in the grocery store, the subway, in cars, walking around; these things are everywhere! So why not get your iPod to do more than just play music. That's where iPodSync comes in. This program will turn your iPod into a pseudo-PDA.

Installation is OK, although it took a while for me to get my iPod to work with this software. It syncs everything with Outlook, which is useful for most people, but not helpful if you don't like Microsoft's domineering Outlook program. Synchronizing everything is simple and fast, no problems there.

The only problem I had with this idea is that it's difficult to use an iPod as a PDA. The controls, the screen, the shape - none of it was designed for use as a PDA.

Other than that, this is a great way to carry around important information like contacts, appointments, and emails.

Conclusion:

Great software for the price, but the idea falls a bit short because of the iPod's shortcomings. Great product for nice price.
