How do you know it's a bad/non-standard implementation?

Apple were one of the companies who WROTE THE SPECIFICATION so I'd be surprised if they don't follow it. But even so, nobody else seems to have a problem using Apple's CalDAV server implementation.

I don't think there is such huge variation in protocol. Different servers support different additional features such as to-dos and reminders but the core functionality should be fairly easy.

There seems to be a lot fewer implementations of ActiveSync, presumably due to it being licensed proprietary technology.

...and in with the dig at Apple from someone using a Microsoft standard.

CalDAV and CardDAV are IETF standards with RFCs. Apple's Calendar and Contacts server is open source. It's at https://trac.calendarserver.org

It has a bug tracker, source code repository, RFCs, Apache Licence...

The CalDAV standard is at http://caldav.calconnect.org

The CardDAV standard is at http://carddav.calconnect.org

And yet we still get idiots going on about Apple's 'walled garden'.

Like **** was I. I was banned because a bunch of precious dogmatic idiots who would rather not give money to Microsoft ganged up on anyone who pointed out what the SDXC card standard actually was. Not supporting it properly is a bug.
