 From ActiveSync's point of view, the GAL is large, organiztion-wide,  
read-only soure that is not synch'd. Rather, it is used as a search  
source for certain operations like e.g., validating/auto-completing  
email addresses while composing an email. IIRC (I don't have my iOS  
device handy), iOS has a GAL search functionality. For Android, there  
is a GAL application you can download.

The source has to be writeable, as well as listable, to be able to be synch'd.


I am wondering if it has to do

Not natively, that is correct. Not sure about iOS, but for Android  
there is the "Exchange for TouchDown" application that has support for  
Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Email (though Horde currently doesn't  
support email). It's not free, but there is a demo available.
