Problem with syncing with vcard for instance for Android currently seems to be the absence of syncing software between vcard and Android db. I've been experimenting, and currently it's easy to export Android contacts to a vcard file. However, when you import for instance the same vcard file, Android contacts dumbly copies everything to its DB, leaving you with two identical contacts for each person. In that way contact sync with vcard files is impossible by default. I'm now searching for some software, Android side, that enables some such syncing, as otherwise, syncing between BBDB and vcard files would be to a large extent futile, as Android sync would still not be possible, as all the contacts would get reimported to Android. There seems to be some soft enabling "backup/restore" of contacts for Android, not sure if it works with vcards though, as it might just use some proprietary format, will see... -- JJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
