If the answer is that he will write a Z-Push/Activesync module for SOGo 
then I'm all ears!  I have been watching SOGo for some time and the main 
thing I would miss is that every phone I have ever owned has largely 
limited/broken Funambol based sync and annoyingly working Activesync 
capability (I own a stream of Nokias...).  It seems that although I 
don't like it, I need activesync support if I want my contacts/calendar 
on my phone... (I think I can do caldav on some of them, but not cardav 
on my N9)

Apart from that it's a very neat system!
