The problem is, that this same argument would hold, even after releasing the API ( the sudden stop argument)
Google has a habit of opening data to world, not to prohibiting access
;)
simply even when 3rd party would implement the official API, there is no guarantee google won't change it again
I'm strongly dedicated to resolve any issues that would prevent syncing ( e.g. change and/or releasing the API )
It's up to you if the added value is worth to you ...
Best regards
Peter
