Abstract
Address books may be intelligently adapted. A sensor output is received indicating a measure of vibration of a mobile device. An address book associated with the mobile device is retrieved and condensed according to the measure of the vibration to generate address favorites. The address favorites are displayed on a display device of the mobile device, such that the vibration experienced by the mobile device determines which contacts in the address book are preferred.
