To add to this, I would love to see more integration of Ubuntu One with
Google products. Android is finally at crucial tipping point now so lots of
people will be using Android to access Google services such as Contact sync,
Calendar sync and EMail sync. It seems that U1 is trying to reinvent the
wheel slightly with this and perhaps it may be a better idea to try and
align them slightly.

I add Google Calendar, IMAP and Contacts to Evolution and of course they are
sync'd on my Android phone too, so it seems some tighter and more
transparent integration between U1 and Google accounts would be a good idea.
