Better UI

Better UI on phone and computer.
Phone:
- 2 big same-sized buttons and/or icons, center screen, BELOW title and text. Connect/Disconnect, Sync.
- Settings and Info should be under the Menu button, as they should be for every Android app. One more click is no bother because BirdieSync settings are rarely changed.
- Possibly, verbose scrolling console screen, switched to from Menu button, or area below main screen buttons, with on/off in Settings
Computer:
- Reset button next to each category in Activation tab, or at least a title with the category name in bold in the dialog after clicking Reset Activation. I unchecked my Contacts category, then clicked Reset Synchronization, expecting the remaining checked category to be reset, but instead what was reset was the SELECTED category, which of course was Contacts. The dialog box does say what's being reset, but it's just a word in the middle of a sentence, and who reads complete dialogs anyway? Should be "EVENTS: do you want to reset them etc. blablabla?" Yes/No buttons.
- Right-click context menu with all relevant choices: Reset, Activate, Delete, etc. Is it really that hard?
- Don't clear History after disconnect!
