Startup Idea: Contact Management Application for Removing Duplicates

Startup idea to develop an application that efficiently removes duplicate contacts from various email accounts and syncs it with the user's cell phone. The software should be able to work across multiple platforms such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and with the phone's hard drive as well.

Over the years I have had many cellular telephones. Further, I have many email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc). As such, I have over 17000 CONTACTS when i pull up my Iphone contacts to call someone. Most are duplicates transferred over from each account, so my mom may be my phone6 - 10 times, same information just in there for each account.

I need a way to have software get rid of all of my duplicates so my cellular phone searches are quicker and much less messy. I have downloaded a PAID app that claimed to fix this duplicates problem. It simply looked at my phones hard drive, where I have sixty contacts I must have manually input into my phone, and did a fine job with those but did not touch my 17000 contacts my phone pulls up.

I used Google labs to get rid of duplicates, but it only fixed my Google contacts.
