I got confused because I though 'exchange' was a Microsoft thing. :-)

I've managed to add my Linaro Google account but I still have no
calendar. Settings shows sync is on, but the Calendar app settings says
the account has no calendars.

As I'm sure nobody with a Versatile Express board cares if their Google
calendar works on Android I'm not going to spend any more time trying to
get this working.
