Morning visionary people

Sounds like productive and good work. Liked to read it and like the overall 
vision.

One thing I'd like to state for change (hopefully in a constructive manner) 
see below.

I'd definitely scratch "-- unlike Android --". I think that's something for 
the case if somebody asks: But what about Android, isn't it open source. Then 
you can describe it. But not in a vision statement. Don't refer in there to 
another competitive product. Plasma Mobile can work and define itself on its 
own. You don't need to differentiate from others like this. Be self-confident.

Nothing to add to the rest. Looking forward to see Plasma Mobile prosper.

Thanks
