People having multiple devices is a common case. We should focus on making sure you don't have to maintain disconnected sets of contacts. We probably don't have resources to maintain infrastructure for something like Web OS' Synergy, but maybe we could leverage Mozilla Weave/Firefox Sync platform? JakubSteiner
I implemented a contact picker for Ubuntu One (for sharing files with users) that might be useful. Find a screenshot here. RodrigoMoya
Ubuntu One is targeted to be shut down. A contact picker won't be needed anymore. GeorgesNeto
Why is there no way to delete contacts from the adressbooks?
