A handy iPhone app that helps keep you organized is the inTouch Contacts. It promises to bring order to your expanding Contacts database.

While developer Objects Etc offers a sophisticated vision of how to achieve that goal in this $5 app, a number of limitations and cumbersome features mark inTouch Contacts as merely an interesting first effort.

inTouch Contacts links to your existing Contacts database, providing a view of—and the option to edit—existing individuals and companies. Inconveniently, you can’t create new records, so adding a person or company requires the native Contacts application. inTouch Contacts provides better support for Contacts’ Group records. You can import existing records into inTouch, create new Groups, and then export them back to the native database.

inTouch Views provide dynamic lists of contacts, including useful breakdowns by organization and city. Retrieving a list of everyone you know who works at a particular company, or tracking down friends while visiting a city are nearly effortless with inTouch Contacts. The application also offers search capabilities.

inTouch Contacts is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch running the iPhone 2.2.1 software update.
