If you double-boot to Windows or Mac, you can install the appropriate 
version of iTunes and sync your iPad as designed. It will sync the 
calendar and contact programs of the OS you use for iTunes.


Trying to force your way directly into the iPad file system is not 
recommended, as it is designed to sandbox each app and its files 
separately. Android is designed for this purpose.
