This generally involves the…

This project caught my attention right after I read its description, so I would like to write a few words as a non-computer-scientist to its lead developer:
Mobile phones have never been one of my interests, but lately I decided to spend some more time exploring their capabilities. This includes phone maintenance, data management, data synchronization, networking etc. I do not own any expensive cellular phones (this is a matter of principal).
