We can’t think of anyone that couldn’t use a personal assistant helping keep track of emails and contacts. It’s too bad a living, breathing personal assistant just isn’t feasible for everyone. That’s where Xobni comes in. Xobni is a super-charged, super-smart address book for your BlackBerry. The Xobni for BlackBerry app trawls through your emails and automatically creates contacts for anyone you’ve ever interacted with and assigns a Xobni Rank to each contact, based on your previous email interactions with that person.

We mentioned Xobni previously, but today we had the pleasure of sitting down with Xobni CEO Jeff Bonforte to see for ourselves how Xobni can help manage all your emails and contacts in an intuitive app. The app displays email interaction history for each contact, so you’ll never have to wonder what you last discussed with a particular contact. Xobni even integrates into your email and phone apps, allowing you to pull up the Xobni address book with a flick of the trackball/trackpad.

Check out our hands-on video for a better idea of how Xobni works!
