Have a look at the Address Book Programming Guide for iPhone OS.

How do I access iPhone contact details in my application?
Use the ABAddressBook API. There's an introduction here.
You need to use the AddressBook APIs to get iPhone's contacts. It is easy to find code snippets.
I am new in iPhone app development. I have to implement the OCR in my iPhone app. Is there any free API for implementing the OCR in iPhone app? I have found ABBYY API for it but it is not free. Please suggest me regarding it.
Thanks in advance

i have to implement Picasa client for iPhone. I have few queries in that regards.
Are the api deprecated now? What if I still implement them now? Where can I find good tutorial on the same. I don't know anything about implementing google data. Also I am a newbie for iPhone development. Also I came across a few pages which said that there in not enough documentation on the same. I have to implement Picasa from the scratch so plz guide me.
Thanx and regards
Start by learning general iPhone programming; there are numerous books for that, such as Conway & Hillegass.
Once you are comfortable with Cocoa Touch development on the iPhone, you can use the GData Objective-C library to access albums and photos on Picasa Web Albums. The library includes a sample photos application showing how to use the Picasa Web Albums API to browse, download, and upload photos and videos.
Does anyone know if iPhone (i.e. Cocoa Touch) lets you create custom properties?
I've used it with the mac before (where it works beautifully) and would like to use this technology for an iPhone app that syncs with an app on the mac through the Address Book (using MobileMe). If I can't use custom properties, however, I'll have to abandon this strategy.
For the mac, it's relatively easy: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/UserExperience/
Conceptual/AddressBook/Tasks/AddingProperties.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001026-BABHHIHC
Does anyone know if this is possible on the iPhone?

nope, sorry, the AddressBook framework on the iPhone is woefully lacking in this regard. Also, no "me" card.
I'm wondering if someone could direct me to an article that explains how to access the address book contacts in the form that Address Book on the desktop can read.
Thanks for any help!
In the stanford uni lectures on iPhone development there is a lecture dedicated
to using the address book. These can be accessed via iTunes.
Hope this helps.

Here is a thread I saw on MacRumors that looks promising:
Accessing Address Book in iPhone SDK?
Apple now has an official guide as part of the iOS Reference Library:

I wrote a small how-to many moons ago.
