[maemo-developers] Maemo contacts

[From: daniel wilms]

Hi Jacob,

did I get you right, that you want to implement an application, which 
syncs the OS's contact database with your google voice contacts? 
Therefore you could have a look into the documentation of the 
address-book api [1].

There was as well earlier a thread on talk.maemo.org [2] where you could 
start and continue.
