not that I would know of, too many things still to be done more urgently, 
IMHO.

well, there is a google-akonadi ressource extension, I tried this once and it 
worked more or less, but seems to break from time to time, or have only 
limited capabilities, though.
what I do here with trinity, is sync my std.vcf via Dropbox.
that means, my ~/.trinity/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf is a symlink to the real 
file in my dropbox folder.
this way I can access my contacts from anywhere, on any device.
keeping this in sync with e.g. google contacts requires manual import/export, 
though.
not exactly elegant, but worksforme :)
