Are they still alive? The last thing I read was that they are concentrating on 
the provider market, and that support for small enterprises or consumers 
might not be available any more... Am I wrong? 

BTW, my Google Data Connector now has fully arrived in Kontact - however 
strange a thing, though. the contacts just seemed to have appeared "out of 
nothing" today. Perhaps the reboot did it ... (Yes, it's Linux!).

Nevertheless, I had restarted Akonadi, Kontact and KDE already yesterday. But 
today I ran some kernel update - and accordingly rebooted the laptop. Now all 
my Smartphone's contacts are in my adressbook. Next thing to try is the 
calendar sync.

That seems to be difficult, hm? Noone has answered up to now... Maybe that's a 
minefield... :-)
