Reason for Submitting
I was looking for alternatives to Google or Apple for sharing and syncing basic data. I currently use Google Apps for Domains for email/contacts/calendaring but am considering moving off of Google. I am testing fruux now. Can anyone else recommend similar (hosted) tools for contacts & calendars? I don't need team features, so it needs to work for single users.

@ntomaino it's not Google :) I found this app because a number of people I know are considering moving their email to different providers. Here's a great post on one guy moving his #email from Google to Fastmail.
The general reason that people are saying they want to move off of Google is that they are no longer comfortable having their activities being used as a way to deliver better ads.
