JABMenu overview
Note: This app is still available for download but the developer of Dialectic has temporarily halted the distribution and sale of all of their products.
JABMenu is a convenient and intuitive way to utilize your contact data through a system-wide menu. The application provides quick access to your contacts' phone numbers, email, instant messaging, postal addresses, URLs, and notes. Selecting a menu item will trigger an action such as displaying the content in large type, copying it to the clipboard, creating a new email message, dialing the phone, or showing an address on a map using an online mapping service. Beyond the built-in actions, JABMenu supports building your own custom actions through a scripting interface allowing you to personalize the software to best meet your needs.

As I write this, the JABMenu file that downloads here is in fact v2.6.3 with a creation date of May 20, 2016.
However, the JNSoftware site is currently closed, saying "we are temporarily halting the distribution & sale of all our products. We’ll be back soon."
I hope they do come back, I count on this app (and iAddressX, too).

Doing a happy chair dance. Latest version 2.6.2 does away with the annoying lag when wanting the full contact list and all contacts show up constantly.

For a long time I relied on CoBook, which has a better-looking interface and has the extra advantage of being free. Then for some unknown reason CoBook's developers decided to take away its ability to dial numbers through Dialectic, so I have switched to JabMenu (it's developer is also responsible for Dialectic, so nothing similar is going to happen here!)

"Improved support for networked sources (i.e., Exchange, CardDAV, & LDAP servers)." Unfortunately when the developer says "networked server" he means just that., a LOCALLY networked server. JABMenu can't communicate directly with Apple's own iCloud server. Which is just a crying shame because that is precisely what a lot of folks need. The first developer to come out with a contacts app. which permits those who can't or won't upgrade to Lion to use iCloud for their contact synchs after June 30, 2012, is going to make a handsome pile of money. But evidently it won't be this app.

An excellent piece of software that does the wonderful deed of enabling me to avoid the hideous interface of Address Book in Lion, as well as providing more functionality (I particularly like being able to find contacts by company name).
I emailed the dev asking how I could script JABMenu to dial my landline with PhoneAmego, and he responded within the hour with a script, detailed instructions and a short video screencast. Talk about customer service!
