  +++ What works

  Contacts, Calendar and Task syncing are working. Note that not all  
devices support Tasks. Of the tested devices, iPhone/iPod and Android  
are both lacking native Task applications. The !TouchDown client and  
Windows Mobile emulator both support Tasks.
+
+Searching a Global Address List (GAL) is supported, provided that  
Turba (or other application providing the //contacts// api) is  
configured to provide a GAL.

  Provisioning along with remote wipe is also working on devices that  
actually support it.

  This code has been tested to some degree on the following devices:
-|| Device || Version(s) || Provisioning || Notes ||
-|| Android SDK Emulator|| 2.0.1 and 2.1 || Does NOT support  
provisioning and will NOT work with it set to //Force//.||Contacts  
only as the emulator does not have a native calendar application ||
-|| Motorola Droid || 2.0.1 and 2.1 || No (See above) ||Contacts and  
Calendar data, though the calendar does not issue PING requests, and  
does not seem to properly support exceptions to recurring events. ||
-||Motorola Milestone || 2.1 || See important note below || ?? ||
-|| !TouchDown For Droid || Version 5.1.0028 || Yes ||Contacts,  
Calendar (You can **create** recurring events, but cannot edit them.  
See Touchdown website for details), and Tasks. ||
-|| iPod Touch || 3.1.3 || Yes ||Contacts and Calendar ||
-|| Windows Mobile Emulator || 6.5 || Yes || Contacts, Calendars (with  
proper support for recurring events and exceptions), and Tasks. ||
+|| Device || Version(s) || Provisioning || GAL Searching || Notes ||
+|| Android SDK Emulator|| 2.0.1 and 2.1 || Does NOT support  
provisioning and will NOT work with it set to //Force//.|| No native  
support. || Contacts only as the emulator does not have a native  
calendar application ||
+|| Motorola Droid || 2.0.1 and 2.1 || No (See above) || No native  
support, but the //Corporate Directory// app in the Marketplace works  
well. || Contacts and Calendar data, though the calendar does not  
issue PING requests, and does not seem to properly support exceptions  
to recurring events. ||
+||Motorola Milestone || 2.1 || ?? || See important note below || ?? ||
+|| !TouchDown For Droid || Version 5.1.0028 || Yes || Yes ||  
Contacts, Calendar (You can **create** recurring events, but cannot  
edit them. See Touchdown website for details), and Tasks. ||
+|| iPod Touch || 3.1.3 || Yes || Yes || Contacts and Calendar ||
+|| Windows Mobile Emulator || 6.5 || Yes || Yes || Contacts,  
Calendars (with proper support for recurring events and exceptions),  
and Tasks. ||

  **IMPORTANT NOTE** There have been reports that some devices running  
Android 2.1 DO have support for provisioning, however there have been  
reports of major issues with regards to the unlock password screen.  
Evidently, once a password is set it looks like it's impossible to  
remove it. I have tested both the 2.1 SDK emulator as well as the  
Motorola Droid (NOT the Milestone) and these still do NOT support  
provisioning. This issue might be limited to the Milestone device.  
That being said if you plan on having users with Android 2.1 devices,  
do NOT enable provisioning unless you are willing to deal with this  
issue.
