Google is actively rolling out a new feature, dubbed “People Widget”, that makes it easy to see more about your contacts and interact with them more effectively.
Next to all your emails you’ll see the widget which houses relevant information about the contact including things like recent email threads you’ve engaged in with them, shared calendar information, shared documents, Buzz posts, contact information (including quick access buttons for calling or chatting them), and more.

If you don’t already have the People Widget in your Gmail interface, expect it to appear some time in the next two weeks.
