Sorry not opencloud but owncloud :)


I have done some workarounds only for OwnCloud.

For BlackBerry mobiles :

OwnCloud
  CalDAV  <=> Evolution <=> Evo3-sync <=> OpenSync <=> barry-sync
    &
  CardDAV


And for PlayBook, I have (need workaround into OwnCloud)

OwnCloud
  CalDAV
    &     <=> PlayBook
  CardDAV


And all my client (Evolution, Thunderbird or RoundCube) I use, as
PlayBook, caldav & carddav directly.

Hmmmmm... that BlackBerry sync process looks like it's going through
a lot of steps to reach OwnCloud.  Although syncing to Evolution is
pretty handy.  I think you can even access Google Calendar through it.

Since Barry can produce vcard style data, is there an opportunity to
make Barry more friendly with OwnCloud?

Are you using the PlayBook as a UI client merely to access the cloud data,
or does the PlayBook have the ability to sync contact data directly to itself?

Thanks,

To sync blackberry mobile with caldav/carddav, we can use a
carddav/caldav plugin for opensync. caldav plugin exists already but I
think that the code isn't updated.

It could be an other solution. But today, it works well. I don't need
more.

I'll wait the next blackberry mobile generation that works as playbook
(so with caldav/cardav native support).

With PlayBook I can access only to cardav/caldav features provided by
owncloud. So contacts and events are synced without addons. But, I can't
use it for data (files, documents...) ! But I'm writing a client for it.
