Preventing Duplication Issues

Hi All,
 
As a new user to Salesforce, I am investigating ways in which we can clean up our data.  One of our main issues is duplicate contact information.  I have found some good products on Appexchange that allow duplicates to be detected via a report, however I am wondering if anything is available that would actually detect possible duplicates as the user is entering the information into Salesforce. 
 
Has anyone come across a product that would provide this, or is it something that would be available through some custom code?
 
Cheers,
Andrew

I'm pretty sure some of the AppExchange apps actually do that today -- DemandTools comes to mind.

demand tools is great for this sort of thing, we use it almost on a daily basis. we also use another of their products called people import.
Demandtools ->dedup after data is in salesforce
peopleimport ->dedup before data is loaded into salesforce.
