I am currently looking @ another OpenSource project called ExchangeIt (available in the Market). Brian has got the beginnings of a Java WebDAV connection happening on Android. I am going to review the code and see where we can go from there. Hopefully, depending on time, Brian will also come on-board if we get project off the ground.
FYI, source is @ http://code.google.com/p/exchangeit Regards, Timbobsteve davin_thompson wrote: > Unfortunatly... Im not very good with with java... but I'm working on > it.
