This tip isn’t really mobile, but it’s still insanely useful: what happens when you have three Doug Goldrings on your Gmail contact list? It’s annoying having one person (however benevolent and awesome they may be) split into three because they have separate school, work, and personal e-mails. Google apparently caught onto this and implemented a sweet new feature within Google Contacts.  Just click on the checkboxes beside the contacts you want to merge and then click on the right side of the screen to merge. The process is still manual, however, so this won’t save Judie from the 800+ contacts that need to be combined. Now if only they’d do something about all those bloody duplicate appointments I have in Google Calendar…

Pic and tip from Gear Diary – good luck merging, Judie!
