Jealous of your friends' with phones that allow contact pictures to sync with their favorite social networking sites? Now, with SyncMyPix, you can get your Android based phone in sync with all of your friends.
Currently only Facebook is supported. If you're visiting from an Android phone, you can get the app here: http://market.android.com/search?q=SyncMyPix
Here's a run down of the features currently implemented:
- Sync your phone's contacts with your Facebook friends' profile pictures
- If do not want to overwrite manually set contact pictures on your phone, the Skip if non-SyncMyPix picture exists option will let you do that
- If a Facebook friend matches up with multiple contacts, you can skip them by checking the Skip if multiple phone contacts found option
- Sync runs in the background leaving you free to do other tasks by pressing HOME
- View the results of the last sync operation
- Manually add pictures to contacts from the "Results" interface
Name matching is VERY precise. For example, a Facebook friend with the name "Billy Bob" will match the following phone contacts:
1.) Billy Bob 2.) Bob, Billy 3.) Bob,Billy
Look for the following new features in the future:
- A new "Progress" interface where the progress bar is integrated in the screen and an image widget displays the last picture downloaded
- Improved extensibility with more social networking sites as picture sources
- Improved name matching
