How do you get them to sync with arbitrary sources? My android phone has its own calendar and merges things from the company exchange server and my google calendar, but I don't know how you would add another caldav source. And I though ical was a file-level transport where you would have to view the item containing it on the device where you want the notification.
Probably less arbitrary than you think because a calendar is essentially a URL and the mobile devices generally know what to do with them.
I just haven't seen enough mobile devices/apps to know what is generic. On my android, it was tied into the email account setup and exchange was a special case. And google seems to be a special case as well, but there is a separate app for gmail.
---- in general, you would feed the same URL to an android device that you would give to iCal, Outlook, Evolution, etc.
wrt an android device...
Gmail - that's integrated into System => Accounts and you set up a Gmail account and it links Contacts & Calendars as well as mail though you can turn off the 'sync' for those services.
Exchange - that's integrated into 'Corporate Sync' which actually handles basically all other e-mail/calendar/contact accounts
