That should be "screw gmail consumer users on new windows phones" - existing consumer users, and all current and future business/government/educations users don't appear to be impacted. From the original post: http://googleblog.blogspot.ca/2012/12/winter-cleaning.html http://googleblog.blogspot.ca/2012/12/winter-cleaning.html "Google Sync was designed to allow access to Google Mail, Calendar and Contacts via the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync® protocol... Starting January 30, 2013, consumers won't be able to set up new devices using Google Sync; however, existing Google Sync connections will continue to function. Google Sync will continue to be fully supported for Google Apps for Business, Government and Education. Users of those products are unaffected by this announcement."
