[Owncloud] Re: Android app, short report

[Jan-Christoph]

Hey Bartek,

cool, thank you! I played around with it a bit and made a quick mockup for
what people should / need to see when they first run the app:
https://gitorious.org/jancborchardt/jancborchardt/blobs/master/ownCloud/Android%20app/setup%20mockup.png
(plus the ownCloud logo should be vertically centered on the header ;)

Because it’s the official ownCloud app you’re most likely to connect an
ownCloud account (for me, it also listed "Corporate" and Funambol in the
menus).

Let me know what you think!
