Speaking of replacing the phonebook software, I finally got around to working on an idea I had. It's iPhone only at the moment, but in the future...?

It'll figure out if you're going to call an 0870 number (or anything else that doesn't usually come out of your free minutes), and will go off and find a cheaper one for you.

I love the idea; and this is something that I have been preaching for years now that carriers and manufacturers have just plum missed out on doing.

Now, make sure that it plugs into every major social network in terms of being able to send presence updates and this will be something I'll be looking into.

If this was an Android app, it could totally replace the default phonebook software. THAT would be cool…
