CardDAV and CalDAV are not really good replacements to EAS. And IMAP is really pathetic. I'm on board with open standards, but if the proprietary one is better, then I'd like to use it. Google's just using the "open" argument to screw people. If it's related to "open standards being better", drop EAS support on business accounts too. That'd be a commitment. This is just a chess move to drive the market to their direction.
