For instance, if you click on the tab in front of an address you can select "Map of" to open that address in <A href="http://www.mapquest.com/">Mapquest</A> in your default browser (see after the jump). As we <A href="http://www.tuaw.com/2006/05/12/google-maps-plug-in-2-4b-for-address-book/">mentioned</A> a while back, there's also a plugin to add <A href="http://maps.google.com/">Google Maps</A> to this as well. With the appropriate Bluetooth phone Address Book can send SMS messages and dial numbers. You can even print out a pocket sized address book.
