Gwabbit, an e-mail utility for Microsoft Outlook users that's designed helps simplify contact management, will soon be available to BlackBerry users. Gwabbit for Blackberry was announced today with release slated for May 25. The program will cost $9.95 a year on an annual subscription basis.

Technicopia, publishers of Gwabbit, positions it as the world's first automatic e-mail contact manager (ECM) for a hand-held device. Todd Miller, president and founder of Technicopia, told InternetNews.com that the BlackBerry version is already "a very advance beta" and might even ship a bit sooner than May 25.

Gwabbit (rhymes with "grab it") is designed to automatically search and identify signatures embedded in e-mails on a BlackBerry device and adds or updates that information to the Blackberry address book in a single click. For those users syncing their contacts to Outlook, Gwabbit's automated capture is designed to keep contacts updated globally.

Basically, Gwabbit simplifies what is usually a much longer manual, copy-and-paste process to update contact lists in Outlook or on a BlackBerry device.
