Does ICS actually UPLOAD data such as contacts to a Google account? Currently with 2.x the user has to export contacts as a .vcf file then go to their Google account with a web browser and import the .vcf file.

I know it's possible to directly upload contact data because I used a command line JAVA applet called Palmreader to convert and upload contacts data to Google from Palm Desktop's address file. So why can't Android do that? What about backing up contact images and ringtone assignments?

And what about making certain the Market actually remembers all your apps, like Amazon's appstore does? I need to find a way to make that forget some free apps I didn't like after downloading. Perhaps Amazon could borrow that from Google...
