Google Exchange- No More???

Effective 1/31/13 Google has removed a lot of its sync options for devices. This includes Google Calendar sync, Google Contact sync and exchange. Some iOS devices are still able to set up their Google account as an exchange account and have it work. Other's not so much. 

The official site for Google Exchange is as follows: http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
