Another for Android...twitter/facebook/gmail/myspace etc are integrated. After pulling contacts from gmail, I can link it to facebook and then any changes a facebook user makes..say phone number or just contact pic, changes automatically in my phone. One huge thing lacks though on Android, there is no true bookmark syncing...it can be done haphazardly, but not behind the scenes as other things happen.
