Yahoo released a beta version of Yahoo! oneConnect, its new social address book. It is available now through the iPhone App Store for free.

With Yahoo! oneConnect, users can integrate all their contacts, send instant or SMS messages, post their status, and view the latest activity from their favorite social networks — making it easy to stay connected and in the loop.

Key features include:
– Full-featured address book that integrates contacts from the user’s Yahoo! Address Book, iPhone and social networks.
- Pulse: A convenient way to see what’s happening on your social networks. The initial version of Yahoo! oneConnect supports networks including Bebo, Dopplr, Facebook, Flickr, Friendster, Last.fm, MySpace, Twitter and YouTube.
- Integrated mobile messaging with your friends via SMS and Yahoo! Messenger, including support for avatars, photos, and emoticons.
- Favorites: A simple way to keep your most important people close at hand to check on status, call or send a quick message or email.

As of now oneConnect is available exclusively for the iPhone and iPod Touch, but Yahoo plans to bring it to other mobile devices as well.
