Contacts is a small, lightweight addressbook that uses libebook, part of EDS. This is the same library that GNOME Evolution uses, so all contact data that exists in your Evolution addressbook is accessible via Contacts. Contacts features advanced vCard field type handling and is designed for use on hand-held devices, such as the Nokia 770 or the Sharp Zaurus series of PDAs. To use, add the relevent line for your distribution to /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get update. deb http://debian.o-hand.com etch/ deb http://debian.o-hand.com unstable/ deb http://debian.o-hand.com edgy/ deb http://debian.o-hand.com feisty/ deb http://debian.o-hand.com gutsy/ http://www.pimlico-project.org/contacts.html

It would be great to integrate addresses across phones, Windows, Linux, etc. Does anyone know a more capable address book app that provides a web frontend as well as LDAP directory backend, and sync to/from Outlook on Windows?
