Has anybody yet found a method/solution for syncing an iCloud account's Contacts on a non 10.7 Mac..??

I'm trying to set up main iCloud functions (Mail, Calendar & Contacts) for family members who have iOS 5 devices and now iCloud accounts, but are running older Macs using 10.5 or 10.6....

Mail - Have this all working, no problems.

iCal - Working, sans pushing to the Mac (although it pushes the opposite way) so I've advised setting the Mac to refresh the calendar every minute instead.

Address Book is the only application I can't seem to find any reported solutions or workarounds for out there....I've read a few reports of people taking a stab at various carddav address, but nothing seems to be working so far.....

Any ideas or experiences ??

Thanks, Steve
