Android at launch?
No. Our mobile apps are completely native. We develop for each platform (iOS/Android) separately and that's in order to reach vey highest quality possible. Cross platform solutions like phonegap or appcelerator are cheaper to make but result in lower quality apps. Our iOS app is written in Objective C and our Android app will be written in Java. If you compare the underlying technology for other serious apps like WhatsApp or Facebook, you will see the same implementation choice. We need the presale funds to be able to develop and support both platforms. To keep things "fair" we can start the airdrop compensation model only when both iOS and Android apps are ready.
I don't mind at all Android no being available at launch but yeah I hope you can wait for the Android for the airdrops. You say CAN so I read that as not 100% decided. Please keep us informed of this and if it changes. What time scale are you thinking/hoping for the Android app to be done? There is an issue of fairness but also there is an issue of not waiting too long so it would be good if we know the time scale and maybe the community that develops can have a say. -Architecture for native Java app is ready, we are working on expanding the developer team. Than a more accurate ETA will be given and the community will be able to help us make a decision. -good article on this issue: http://mashable.com/2013/08/16/ios-android-development/

Gems Token Sale Details & Update: http://koinify.com/blog/gems-token-sale-details-update/Extra perks of buying in public sale: "Everytime when someone joins the Gems network (without an invite), a randomly chosen public sale purchaser will receive extra XGEM token rewards, even though you weren’t the inviter. How cool is that!"

How is this 100M cap enforced? can it be arbitrarily changed just like Bitshares did?

The XGEM token is "locked", so that there can be no further issuances of it. ( https://wiki.counterparty.io/w/Assets)

I just saw the youtube interview, great to see this kind of incentives to spread the word. I think we got a project here that actually might get big and using a Crypto (Gems) that does indeed makes sense. To see you guys roadmap for this concept and especially getting involved in the public eye getting attention is great. Also getting paid per development by koinify and targeting the average person, especially teenagers where there is a pretty big market to get in to looks promising. Looking forward to follow you at insidebitcoin converence in Paris.

Transferring value through a messaging app similar to whatsapp on mainstream level has never done before indeed. With these promotions this concept looks pretty solid, what counts for me is being present in the public eye which you guys are delivering.

don't buy gems.teams is a liar.they will disappear Once get the btc.because it is 4000btc!
- its not 4000 btc, the pre-sell cap is at 3000 btc which is better than having no cap like in other crowdfunds (ethereum etc) - the raised btc are stored in multi-sig wallets with Coinbase, and Adam from Counterparty and Koinify releasing the funds in a milestone based requirement tier -- Gems is the first project taking this higher route of accountability. please read: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=758004.msg9328700#msg9328700and: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=758004.msg9318828#msg9318828

Yes, Gems advertising model is built around "attention economy". Reading incoming messages is time consuming, and our time is a very valuable resource. The straightforward solution is therefore basic economics. If consuming messages is expensive, sending them should be expensive as well. By placing a gem price tag on sending unsolicited messages, we can guarantee that you get paid (with gems) for the right to contact you. please read the Potential advertising models for Gems: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=758004.msg9017388#msg9017388
