Google Contacts via Gmail Blog by The Gmail Team on 9/27/12

For many years, we've supported two open protocols for accessing Gmail
and Calendar from mobile apps
and devices: IMAP for email and CalDAV for calendar. These protocols,
combined with the options to
access Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts with your desktop or mobile
browser and via native apps on iOS and
Android, help ensure you have a great experience regardless of the
device you use.

Starting today, we're adding CardDAV - an open protocol for contacts -
to that list. CardDAV enables 3rd
party clients, like the iOS contacts app, to sync your Google contacts.
By supporting IMAP, CalDAV, and
CardDAV together, we're making it possible for 3rd parties to build a
seamless Google Account sync
experience.

To sync your Google Contacts on iOS using CardDAV, please follow these
instructions in our Gmail Help
Center.
