Here's a pretty cool new contacts app called Face Contact. It has a Today screen plugin that has a cover-flow like effect. For 15 bucks, I might pick this one up after the 10 day trial ends. Check it out:

Quick description from the site:
Contact Management with a Visual Touch
Face Contact adds a new dimension to contact management. It combines the effectiveness of browsing contacts using an intuitive 3D visual interface, with the kind of control and features you would expect from a text-based Contact application, such as the ability to:
- sort contacts by different criteria, at any time;
- jump instantly to specific positions in the contact list based on the contact’s initial;
- keep full control of index/position in the list even when rapidly scrolling through your contacts;
- initiate common contact-related tasks, such as starting a phone call, sending text messages and email, or browsing the personal web page of a contact;
- perform all kinds of contact management operations, such as adding, editing or removing contacts.
