[WikimediaMobile] Android 3 & 4-style layout mockups

[Philip Chang]

Rupert, sorry if we missed your last email.

The beta Android app was, until today, not released on any market. The
latest Release Candidate (RC4) was sent to this list earlier this week.

However, there was be a "dark" release today on Android Market, as Tomasz
pointed out earlier. Check it out and let us know what you think.

You might have to search by Wikimedia Foundation.
