Most tablets are totally missing a way to directly access your contacts. Annoyed like me? Please read on!
This is a real problem, and I don't know why tablet makers think that just because it is not a phone, that you won't need access to it. I certainly like to use it for quick access for sending email, and making calls over VoIP.
FEAR NOT! I have a solution for you!
I wrote a very simple app that will bring up your contacts editor.
You can download the APK from my web site. It should work on ANY android device (API 1 and up!), and simply tells the OS to give you the contacts editor.
One device that I have (Pandigital SuperNova, although I installed regular Contacts stuff) it force closes. I'll keep working on it to find out why, however it DOES work on my other devices. Once I get it working on the PDSN, I'll post a note about it here.

If you have problems with the application, your device might really not have any access to contacts. However I have never heard of any device that has lacked the ability. Please let me know if it fails for you. All I ask in return is a simple thank you.
I will also put the source up on my web site, time permitting and if there is any demand, and edit this post with a link pointing to it.
There's no big secrets in it, etc, and I'm super surprised that nobody has written such an obvious app for tabs.
