The AddressBook API should do what you need. Use the IBAction or gesture link to the button to present it.

You will have to use AddressBook framework, first add the refrence to the framework,

Then import AddressBook.h in your class

#import "AddressBook/AddressBook.h"

Then start using ABAddressBookRef

ABAddressBookRef ref;

I think you're after the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController....
