Change log:  Update note now that I've tested on my device

  This code has been tested to some degree on the following devices:
  || Device || Version(s) || Provisioning || Notes ||
  || Android SDK Emulator|| 2.0.1 and 2.1 || Does NOT support  
provisioning and will NOT work with it set to //Force// or  
//Allow//.||Contacts only as the emulator does not have a native  
calendar application ||
-|| Motorola Droid || Android 2.0.1 || No (See above) ||Contacts and  
Calendar data (Droid's Corporate Calendar has a buggy client  
implementation) ||
+|| Motorola Droid || 2.0.1 and 2.1 || No (See above) ||Contacts and  
Calendar data (Droid's Corporate Calendar has a buggy client  
implementation) ||
+||Motorola Milestone || 2.1 || See important note below || ?? ||
  || !TouchDown For Droid || Version 5.1.0028 || Yes ||Contacts and  
Calendar (You can **create** recurring events, but cannot edit them.  
Also, recurring events with exceptions are not supported at all.  See  
Touchdown website for details). ||
  || iPod Touch || 3.1.3 || Yes ||Contacts and Calendar ||

-**IMPORTANT NOTE** There have been reports that some devices running  
Android 2.1 DO have support for provisioning, however there have been  
reports of major issues with regards to the unlock password screen.  
Evidently, once a password is set it looks like it's impossible to  
remove it. The 2.1 SDK emulator does not appear to support  
provisioning, and (for obvious reasons) I have not tested this on my  
newly updated 2.1 device. So, if you plan on having users with Android  
2.1 devices, do NOT enable provisioning unless you are willing to deal  
with this issue.

Evidently, once a password is set it looks like it's impossible to  
remove it. I have tested both the 2.1 SDK emulator as well as the  
Motorola Droid (NOT the Milestone) and these still do NOT support  
provisioning. This issue might be limited to the Milestone device.  
That being said if you plan on having users with Android 2.1 devices,  
do NOT enable provisioning unless you are willing to deal with this  
issue.

  +++ Setting up the device

  It's beyond the scope of this page to go into detail for each  
individual device. In general, you will need to create a new account  
on your device. The account type should be something like //Microsoft  
Exchange// or //!ActiveSync//. Some devices use //Corporate//. You  
will need to enter your normal Horde username and password in the  
appropriate fields. In the field for the server address, you should  
enter the **root** of the webserver or virtual host that hosts Horde.  
For example, if you host horde at http://host.example.com/horde then  
you should enter http://host.example.com. You can ignore any reference  
to a //domain// entry.
