Android and Google made me smile today
Today I had to goto my wife's friend's house to pick up some stuff. I looked at his contact info on my phone and I had his email address and phone number but I didn't have his street address. However, I know that I once used Google Maps to look up his address so onto Google Maps I went. I inputted his city and the autocomplete suggested the full address I had typed in months earlier *sweet*.
So now I needed to get that address into my phone. I know that Android phones auto-sync with Google Contacts, so I opened up my contacts list in Gmail only to discover that he wasn't in there. I looked back at his contact info on my phone and realized that the info came from the Facebook integration, kinda cool. Back in Google Contacts, I proceeded to add him into my contacts, I started typing his name and the autocomplete suggested his email address since I had emailed him before *nice*.
Finally I added his phone number and address into the contact. I turned back to my phone - which was showing his contact details from earlier - with the intention to manually refresh my contacts to pick up the new info, but it was already there! His contact info which was displayed autorefreshed and had his address in it and showing on my screen *nice*.

So that part made my smile today. The tipping point was that when the address auto synced to my phone, I did not have to manually refresh the display of contact info, it just changed automatically.
