Hi abustany,

many thanks for the support you give here in the forums. It makes us (owners of N9) feel that the platform isn't just dead yet, and that we'll have some support for the lifetime of the device.

I have a question/request. One of the few things that I really miss is the ability of synchronizing my contacts and calendars directly with a desktop (I have a Mac, and used to do this with iSync via bluetooth). I know this can be achieved by synchronizing both the Mac and the N9 with Google, but it sort of defeats the purpose of having a non-Android device.

So I'm wondering:

1) Is this going to be supported in the near future?

2) If not, I'm thinking of trying to hack a quick solution for it. Probably a "sync on demand" app running both on the Mac and the N9, via wifi, to begin with.
Now, the trouble is, I found the calendars in a sqlite3 file ".calendar/db", but there's no such equivalent for the contacts. My only hint are the "contactsd" and "contacts" processes running. I saw your earlier post hinting at querying QContactFetchRequest (never programmed with QT before, so I'll have to dig that up), is that the only way to interact with contacts?

Thanks in advance!
