"If Google wants to give up ActiveSync compatibility in their own cloud e-mail service, that is 100% their prerogative. Outlook.com will love the new customers. This helps MS. " 3 years ago, I moved my PIM data to Google because they essentially offered a free exchange server at a time when no one else did (not even hotmail). Exchange active sync has been a cross platform standard that has allowed me to switch between webOS, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows 8 Metro without missing a beat. But Google is clearly deprecating EAS for open alternatives, at least for consumers. It wouldn't take me more than 5 minutes to migrate my data to Outlook.com, but the only reason to do would be for a new Windows Phone. IOS and I'm assuming Windows 8 can get along fine with CalDAV and CardDAV. I assume Windows Phone will end up supporting them as well. In the meantime, I have EAS connections to Google Cntacts/Calender that work and will continue to work as long as I don't switch devices.
