"Import from Device" Contacts on Visualforce Page

Hi, 

Is there anyway to access the "Import from Device" feature that is available on Salesforce1 from the Contacts Object when you hit New button, from a visualforce page? I am learning about Cordova/PhoneGap and dynamic components on the visualforce page, so I guess I could create my own Hybrid App that allows me to get contacts from the iOS device, but was hoping there was a way to leverage this function, since it is now standard on the Contact object. Any thoughts?

Thanks, 
Shawn

No, you will need to use a mechanism like Cordova to access the device specific features such as Contacts.
