As i said earlier, the purpose of Iphone is "Stay Connnected". Stay Connected also means you should be able to talk to your buddies just like you do a 'Skype Talk' or a 'Google Talk' or 'MSN Talk'.
Also wouldn't be it sweet, if you can have all your social networking buddies under one list. (irrespective of them being in Yahoo or AOL or Google).
So two important qs's : One SIMPLE answer - fring.
Fring is s a mobile internet community and communication service that allows friends to connect, share experiences and enhance their online communities together. Enough of definition...
Fring is availble for free in App Store and it gives you the ability to make free voice calls (just like your laptop) on Google, Skype, MSN...Also you can do Yahoo Chat, ICQ Chat, Twitter Chat and AIM chat. Go to More -->Add-Ons and enter the login details (just once) for each of the social network.It also gives you the ability to list all the buddies under one list.
The only glitch (becuase of AT&T) is that you need Wi-Fi to make voice calls. For Chats, 3G is more than enough. And you get fring notifications, when somebody pings/calls you. This can be enabled/disabled in Settings --> fring (You will see fring, once u install fring)
And the latest update of fring also gives the option to "Go Offline", if you do want to be online always. Go to fring-->More --> Go Offline and then click 'Offline'. You are offline now. To go back to Online, just open fring and once u open Fring, you automatically go Online and you can always "Stay Connected".

Gmail, Yahoo Address book in IPhone (Getting email contacts in Iphone)
The purpose of any smart device is to make you 'stay smart' like the device you are using now. So let us go straight into the subject.
You have purchased a new IPhone. And one reason that we needed this phone is to "stay connected" always. The power of 3G definitely gives you that. When you say about "stay connected", it obviously means it gives you the power to check your mail and REPLY back to them. Let us take Gmail here as an example. You can easily add your Gmail account in Settings-->Mail,Contacts,Calendar. So mail congigured and checked. And now you need to forward this mail to your sub-ordinate/friend. Oops!!! That is where you find the contacts in the Gmail address book doesn't show here. So what do i do? Should i type each mail address in the Phone book contact and save them? I have 1000 contacts in Gmail. NO....That's not going to happen.What do i do?
And here comes the answer: To get the mail contacts(be it Gmail, Yahoo or any other) in your Iphone, go to the mailing account through Safari web browser and type the webaddress. Login and tada....You see it...You see all the contacts listed. Its like browsing in the laptop.
