Google adds ability to star contacts in Gmail

Today Google added the ability to star important contacts in your contacts list, similar to how you star important messages in your Gmail inbox. Once a contact is starred, it will automatically be added to the “starred” group for easy access.

The feature will also be automatically synced with your Android device, so once you star a contact in Gmail, it will automatically be starred in your contacts list on your phone or tablet, and vice versa.
