Currently the software is branded as "Kontact Mobile",
my suggestion of using "Kontact Touch" for the finger usable variant
seems to be an improvement.

There was one serious argument against it by Will that
"Kontact Touch" might be seen as a strange wordplay by some 
that do not know "Kontact". Also one other person I talked to liked 
"Kontact Mobile" better.

Overall, if think "Kontact" is a tiny bit arkward as a word and if we
keep it, I personally think that the possible wordplay meaning of
"Kontact Touch" is an acceptable danger.

> So maybe thinking about a rebranding of Kontact would actually be sensible.

A completely new brand is something I personally do not like to tackle right 
now. As I have explained before: In my view, we have to keep the current 
people that know "Kontact" in the boat and we lack time to come up with a 
grand new name.

So how do we go about this "decision"?
Next week I am going to meet a number of Kontact people from Intevation
and KDAB and thus I can get another round of feedback. 
Given the current grade of overall agreement holds with them, I'd report
here and then I would suggest to change to "Kontact Touch" somewhere over the 
next weeks or so.

Best,
Bernhard
