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.

A special thanks to Adrien Bustany and Gilles Dartiguelongue for their patches that have been included in this release.
