iContact Brings Your Google Contacts to Your Desktop

Windows only: Freeware application iContact downloads your Gmail address book to your desktop for quick access to all your contacts’ information. Searching contacts in iContact is very fast, but the main benefit of the application is its built-in support for other tools. For example, you can make a phone call with Skype or map a contact’s address with Google Maps with just a couple of clicks in iContact. The application is very young, and it was a little buggy in my tests—for example, contact names didn’t show up in the sidebar until I started searching. Aside from that, it’s a promising app for integrating your extensive Gmail contact list with your desktop. If you give it a try, let’s hear how it performed for you in the comments. iContact is freeware, Windows only. Thanks Khash!
