We are definitely going to let you edit your contact records for other people. Right now, we’re working on giving you as much context as we can about your contacts without making you do the work of filling in their details, but we know that’s not enough on its own.
When we enable editing other people’s profiles, the edits will be private to you: in other words, if you edit someone’s profile, we’ll show you the edited version, but other people won’t see your edits. That’s because your contact data belongs to you, and we won’t share it without your consent; it’s also to protect the privacy of people who might not want their social network profiles being revealed in public.
If you have any ideas on how you would like this to work, please do let us know in the comments!

Where would you best add value? a) the gmail app b) the mobile gmail browser c) google contacts. Xobni/Startr and Gist have gone for their own contacts management app. I have an HTC Desire which has its own contacts app which links to facebook and twitter so you can view a contacts twitter or facebook status before sending an email. Nothing there for incoming email.
So my proposal would be to have two features
1. add facility to google contacts to link and hence view contact's status in facebook and twitter and to see their details on LinkedIn
2. whilst in gmail (browser based) to touch an email address and have option to view twitter or facebook or G+ status or their linkedin details.
an alternative would be to run your own email app with contacts to include the above 2 points.
