There is now free social-network sourced address book for Andriod from Asurion Mobile AddressBook. The app marries a user's mobile address book with social content and services. It offers easy customization to cut through the social media chatter and improve communications. Users can add content from leading social sites, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr, directly into their address book and tailor the types of updates they want from the contacts they want.

Features:

MixIns - gives users a choice of the content and services they want to build to get a complete view of their relationships and drive their personal communications. Social networking feeds, photos, videos, games and more can be added directly into the contact views of the address book.
Smart Contacts - allows contacts in the address book to be turned into mini-applications, giving users quick access to the services and information they need when on the go, such as directory assistance, local search, reservations and customer service.
Instant Notifications - enables users to view updates from all of their social networks even before they open their address book via the Android notification screen. Users can customize the frequency and content of alerts to include different types of updates, from new photos on Facebook to new followers on Twitter.
Simple interface - allows users to communicate with the contacts in their mobile phone from one place, with one touch, any way they choose. Users can tap to call, comment, text, tweet, post, email, IM or update their status, for example.

"Asurion Mobile AddressBook is a huge time saver," said Michelle Johnson, beta user. "I can get social media updates really quickly from my most important personal and business contacts without having to launch a dozen applications and weed through lots of data. It's a one stop shop for all my interactions. Best of all, with the new and constantly updated MixIn features, the application will grow with my social media needs."

Availability
Asurion Mobile AddressBook is available now and free of charge for any Android-powered phone. To download the application, go to: http://www.getaddressbook.com. AddressBook is also available for download at the Android Market. A video demo follows.

"Asurion Mobile AddressBook reinvigorates the social media experience," said Steve Pretre, general manager for Asurion Mobile Applications. "People are becoming bombarded with a never-ending flow of information from social networks. With AddressBook, users can separate the most meaningful information from social media 'chatter' to stay more connected with the people who matter most. Plus, users now have quick and simple access to the mobile services they desire, all from a central location."

Asurion Mobile AddressBook is the first socially connected application of its kind to utilize an open framework, allowing developers to continuously add new features and functionality to the application. With the open platform, developers can easily turn their existing applications into "MixIns" which add valuable content and services right into the address book, continuously expanding the choice of features users can add. The application is available as a free download for all Android-based phone owners and is white-label ready for mobile operators and handset manufacturers.
