First of all, we don't want to read this kind of statements on this list. We 
respect the work of other people, especially when it's work on the free 
desktop.

Have a look at KOrganizer/Embedded or the KO/Pi and KA/Pi version of 
KOrganizer and KAddressbook. It's not that difficult to adapt our apps to a 
smaller screen. It needs some changes in the code, but in most cases it's 
possible to do this in a clean way, e.g. by adding hidding configuration 
options which switch between small and big versions of a dialog and similar 
stuff.

You should approach the person who is using the app on a small screen (it 
might be yourself). This kind of code has to be maintained and you can't put 
the burden on the shoulders of the people who don't use it.
