How to sync android with iCloud calendar / contacts (or Zimbra contacts)
Android phones occupy more than half of smartphone
population worldwide. Many of the Samsung galaxy, Sony Xperia and HTC users are
asking the following question:
How to sync Android with iCloud (or Zimbra)
These Android phone owners just barely got their new phones
or they decide to try out new generation of iPhones. They are spending lots of
time migrating or moving between iPhone iOS and Android back and forth.
Therefore, data syncing has become a common issue along the way.
We all know that Google phones, such as Nexus, are working
fine with Gmail seamlessly. However, what about cloud services such as iCloud,
Zimbra, OwnCloud and etc? What if we need to synchronize Android calendars and address books with iCloud (iPhone/iTunes)?
There are two APPs that can help you out: CardDAV-sync and
CalDAV-sync.

Apple iCloud or Zimbra or other generic CardDAV services.

This App makes it possible for your Google Smartphone to
sync calendars with iCloud, OwnCloud or other generic CalDAV services such as
EVO Mail Server Prime.
Why CardDAV-sync and CalDAV-sync are able to perform such
tasks? The reason behind is that all the major cloud services are operating
based on CardDAV and CalDAV protocols. You can check these APPs out on their
