Hermes gets support for adding phone numbers to contacts from LinkedIn
Andrew Flegg, one of your editors, has updated his contacts information aggregation application to include support for collecting additional information from LinkedIn, specifically - and, of particular interest - collecting and formatting phone numbers from services that support them. v0.8.3 is in Extras-devel now for those who want to really be on the alpha-bleeding edge. This version of Hermes will be going to Extras-testing for wider testing later this week. As it is currently in Extras-devel, and manipulates your device's contacts database, care should be taken by users wishing to alpha-test.
