So I guess it will be "Kontact-Mobile" with
several frontends for Mail, Calender, Contacts, Tasks, Notes.

The question is "Kontact-Mobile" or "Kontact Mobile"?
And then how to to label the frontends. Something short rules,
so my favourite is: "Mail" for mail, but I cannot decide
for "Events", "Organizer" or "Calender". Maybe "Calender".
What about "Contacts" vs "Addresses"?
Or "Tasks" vs "Todos"?
