Thanks, Great app by the way. Oh and one more thing, if you could try do something like the regular contacts have in regards to the search, where you can type letters to locate the contact. here when you start typing the name you got to be super quick or else it will read the letters as first and start searching names with the newly typed letter and not as if its a continuation of a name you looking for.

I would like a widget which re-appears automatically after a reboot of the phone.
I only have a few contacts that I use on a regular basis, and the widget is an ideal way of managing and using them.
Having to start the main app, and then install the widget is a pain, although admittedly a small pain, and would be a nice to have.
That is my only suggestion about an otherwise great app.

Why would you want that?
What about adding presense indicators as well? If it would be there, mycontacts may replace traditional contact shortcuts forever.

"respawn" is one step further where everytime the application "exits" the "system" will start a new one, making impossible to shutdown mycontacts - I didn't see the need because I haven't heard of scenarios where mycontacts crash and that is why I asked you about.

I plan to work on both issues for the next release.

I will run some more tests and experiment with the new version of mobility just (unofficially) released for the n900.
