Does Rapportive support reformatting of phone numbers? I just realized that quite a few of my numbers are in different formats and would love an app that puts things in standard +(country) (rest of number) format.

Also, is the Rapportive support bidirectional? I.e. data discovered is written back to Google Contacts. This way, any changes would be auto propogated down to my mobile device.

I'd also love an app to go through my phone numbers and internationalise them. It would have to be a semi-automated process, as I've got contacts with local numbers in a number of different countries.

The Google Contacts support is currently one way, but it's a great idea to write the data back. Could you please vote on it here: http://rapportive.com/feedback/527051 — that way you'll be kept in the loop as we make progress :)

What mobile device do you use?

Multiple. webOS and Android.

It would be interesting if you could somehow tie into webOS Synergy services.

If the internationalization app is sufficiently smart, it should be able to detect local numbers for different countries and at least make an attempt.
