Apple Fail #3: Address Book

The usability of Apple’s Contacts application, went from okay, to horrible over the last few OS updates. It’s gotta be one of the simplest application to write (so maybe Apple has its interns create the thing), but in its current incarnation I find it completely unintuitive and ugly as hell. I don’t know how an address book can be unintuitive, but somehow I constantly myself clicking in the wrong spot, or unable to find the person I need, or otherwise lost in the UI.

I’m not going to analyze it more than that, other than to say that somehow the contacts application on my iPhone is substantially easier to use.
