Permalink Xobni literally just released their Blackberry Application last week:

While the Desktop Version is designed to work in conjunction with your Outlook Address Book, this mobile version is designed to completely replace your existing Blackberry Address Book.
- It will show you a contact's LinkedIn profile
- It will show you their Facebook Status.
- It will tell you when the last time you emailed/called/text'ed them was.
- It ranks your contacts in order of importance.
- It will display the contact's photo from either their LinkedIn or Facebook profile.
- But it won't let you choose which photo.
Sounds great, right? This information is only available their this particular application, which is synchronizing with their cloud-based database. Unfortunately, it will not put this same information in your local Blackberry address book. Instead of being an independent piece of software, I think it'd be nice, if possible, to integrate it into the actual Blackberry Address Book.
On the other hand, Gist currently does not even have a mobile version available; at least none that I could find.
Winner: Xobni
