SalesForce will be shortly making another release with new and enhanced features.

You can take a sneak peak at the new features in the Summer ‘08 Admin Preview.
Here are some highlights from the coming release as singled out in the official SalesForce blog.

Visualforce -With Visualforce now generally available in every edition, it’s easy to build custom user interfaces using Visualforce and new custom components from the Force.com developer community.

Salesforce for Google Apps, a simple, yet powerful combination of your applications that work together and make it incredibly easy for users to communicate, collaborate, and share business information.

Also, the latest release schedule is available at trust.salesforce.com!

And a quick reminder for those who still doubt whether they can/should integrate non-SalesForce contact data (from various databases like Oracle, MySQL etc. and/or applications like Excel, QuickBooks etc.) into SalesForce account, just one word: Apatar.
