I'm looking forward to better mobile support. Currently I can't sync contacts at all because the only Android LDAP contacts app seems not to be purchasable.

I went with contact-management (and calendar-management) via owncloud.

There's two apps in the Play store, one for CardDAV[1] and one for CalDAV[2].

That setup works for me.

I just wish OwnCloud wasn't a slow PHP script. Can FastMail sync with any cardDAV server? Because I might just write on of those or something.
