Zach, I am horrified that his happened to you, and that a similar thing happened to several other people.
As soon as we saw your post, we went into crisis mode. Within an hour or so we removed Friend Book from the AppStore and we quickly disabled the handshake feature on our web servers.
Please see my full account and announcement of what happened at http://getsatisfaction.com/tapulous/t...
My sincerest apologies. I'm not sure what we can do to make things right by you, but please contact me at bart AT tapulous DOT com so we can discuss.

I think you've got it right but the steps are a little amiss, here's how it would probably work: 1) Each person gets a code to give to the other to allow the other to see the exchanged card. 2) Enter code, review exchanged cards and save. 3) Place two iPhones together. 4) Perform a gentle handshake gesture. 5) Exchange cards through the cloud. The other way you'd still be getting random requests to enter codes for cards you never wanted in the first place. – Craig Keller, on July 19, 2008 17:42

I haven't used the Handshake feature yet, but I'm thinking about the Apple Remote app and wondering it that might present a possible solution. For those who haven't downloaded and used Remote yet (you should, it's free!), it allows your iPhone or iPod Touch to control a iTunes or Apple TV in your local Wi-Fi network.
Before it can do this, you connect Remote to the library by putting Remote in a "Add Library" discovery mode. In this mode, the iPhone will present a four digit passcode, which you then enter on the iTunes / AppleTV library you wish to control.
Perhaps when Friend Book finishes the exchange of cards, rather than presenting the card, it instead prompts for a code. The receiver then asks the giver for the code on the phone, and once entered, allows the received card to be displayed. Without the code, no information is retained.
So the steps would be as followed, mostly the same as now:
1) Place two iPhones together.
2) Perform a gentle handshake gesture.
3) Exchange cards through the cloud. Each person gets a code to give to the other to allow the other to see the exchanged card.
4) Enter code, review exchanged cards and save.
Does this sound possible and would it prevent the problems that have been mentioned in this thread?

My girlfriend and I loaded Friend Book on our iPhones. When we tried the shake feature, she would get my card. I, however, was getting random people throughout the country. The next morning one of the contact I received contacted my girlfriend. I'm thinking this program is still flawed. I will be very interested when I know what is happening to my contact info.

Handshake failure/wrong contact(s)Handshaking often fails. Sometimes it has worked, but not exactly with the right contact cards. I just received a vcard from someone in Austrlia (hey Mark! You have my sisters number now, you lucky bastard!).
Scary stuff..

Contact picture size causes lag/crashSo I think I have fixed this problem myself but I'm going to report it and my solution because I'm sure I wont be the only person to have this.
When scrolling to my own contact card in Friend Book I noticed scrolling become very laggy and eventually crash. Coincidentally my contact picture would just show up as an empty white square. I'm not sure which exact file I used for my picture (I have different copies, all similar but with few differences) but I'm pretty sure it was a 2000x2000 png with transparency that was scaled down in Address Book. I changed it to a 125x125 png with a white background and the problem stopped.
Just wanted to throw this out there...
