'Touch' says 'ipod' to me, and when combined with 'Kontact' gives a clumsy 
repetition of metaphors, because Kontact is already a pun on the word 
'contact' which also can mean a touch. 

Why do you need a sub-brand for the mobile variant?  Isn't 'Kontact' strong 
enough to work on more than one format?
