CardDAV on the iPhone

Since several weeks I have finished my home network. Everything is built around a Mac Mini Server which provides a mail-, web-, vpn- and time machine server. On top of the web server I’m using CalDAV and CardDAV to sync my events and contacts to all Macs. To all Macs? NO. Till yesterday the iPhone was not able to sync to a CardDAV server. Even not the own one from Apple. But today with the iPhone 4.0 Beta update I was able to add a CardDAV account next to the mail and CalDAV one. And it seems to work without any issues so far. Great improvement!

But the bad part here is, that the missing feature (previous 4.0) was not clearly marked anywhere on the Apple site. Apple explained that you can sync events and contacts without any issues. But for contacts it was in the past always necessary to use the iTunes sync function.
