Diane, no offense, but please do see beyond the theoretical world of Google. If you want Android to be taken seriously as a productivity platform, these concerns shouldn't be summarily dismissed.

The thumbnail feature defeats the password protection. There needs to be a way of providing an alternate bitmap or a way to force to show the launcher icon.
