SpiralOcean: Yes, contacts is a different type of application -- it's made by Apple. They seem to be able to do some data sharing and background stuff that isn't available to the rest of us. (That might sound bitter, but I don't mean it to be.) However, if you see two third-party applications sharing data without a sync out to a webserver or something, we'd really like to hear about it!
