Now that you can input birth dates in contacts, does that automatically
replicate as recurring events to the calendar or are they completely
different databases?

Up until now, Gmail only supported some contact fields. Whenever someone
imported their contacts from apps like Outlook and OS X Address Book, we
used to put fields Gmail didn't recognize into the contact's notes section.
Based on feedback from you, we added support for more contact fields (like
birthday and website) and now store each of these fields separately, which
makes syncing and round-tripping your data work better. We updated the
standalone contact
manager<http://googleappsposts.blogspot.com/2009/05/bringing-your-contacts-to-cloud.html>with
this improvement last month and now it's available in Gmail too, with
support for Outlook, Outlook Express, Hotmail and Yahoo in CSV format, and
OS X Address Book in vCard format.

With all your contact info in Gmail, you can access it from anywhere,
sync<http://www.google.com/sync/>your contacts to your mobile phone or
other devices, and more easily
collaborate<http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=44677>on
Google Docs and
invite<http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=37161>people
to Calendar events. We're working hard to make Gmail contacts even
more useful, so please keep the
feedback<http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Chats-and-Contacts-en/topics?ctx=l_chat>coming.
