Hello, platform wars!
Google has officially announced that it's removing support for Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync protocol (Google Sync) as of January 30, 2013. Those currently using Google Sync to connect their mobile devices to their Gmail will remain unaffected, but new users will not be given the option to use Google Sync.
The company is suggesting that those looking to synchronize their non-Android devices up to their Google accounts use a combination of CalDAV, CardDAV, and IMAP for Google Calendar, Contacts, and Gmail respectively.
