Your solution would be better than the state right now (Maverick
Meerkat) but it would mean that the original idea looses a lot of its
sexiness. Having all contact information just one search away would be
pure awesome. Same applies for contact interactions like hitting
'Enter' to open a new mail dialogue.

For a long time I have been asking my self why contact information are
hidden in most OS because accessing them is such a common task.


Having a picture with a link to your contact would be nice and still
quite useful :)
