We have to keep portrait mode in mind and design for it. The end result
will not have separate working portrait mode UI but maybe mockups for it.

I want to keep contributing to Plasma Active / Kontact Touch after GSoC and
view this as an opportunity to lay the groundwork for future development.
The reason I probably wont be able to apply for  GSoC another year is that
its schedule works really bad with my German university schedule. I am
usually packed with exams during July but not this year. :)
