Getting A Contact's mail on the iPhone

Question

Hi all,

I have an application with kind-of "share" function. how can I list the contact's stored on the iPhone to the user?

can I do it without exiting my own app (required)? can I have the contacts content without opening any external view?

I can assume it is somewhat secured.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

There is a NavigationController called ABPeoplePickerNavigationController that you can use in your app to select contacts or contact info. This may get you down the right path.

Class description: The ABPeoplePickerNavigationController class (whose instances are known as people-picker navigation controllers) implements a view controller that manages a set of views that allow the user to select a contact or one of its contact-information items from an address book.
