Good idea. Do make an Android version! Also consider letting the user add photos and custom fields to contacts (those could range from "research interests" to "hair color" to "college class" to "favorite drink" and so on), not just an unstructured, unsearchable mess called "notes". If you do decide to support custom fields do not force every contact to have every kind of field.

However, (and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this) what I'm really waiting for is the obvious "ultimate" solution to this problem: an augmented reality device and app combo that would show people's names hovering above their heads. Making the names "glanceable" would make a huge difference and there would be potential for a lot for extensions. Add research/technological interests in highly visible large letters and conferences suddenly get a lot more interesting; add "going to <city name>" and it's a hitchhiking app; add "single" and it's a dating app (use at your own peril); add selectable multilingual subtitles (e.g., at an official speech) and it's a live translation app, etc.
I wonder if this could somehow be made viable without advanced augmented reality glasses.
