Excellent progress! Still ready for some nitpicks? ;)

I would curve the corners of the blue screen slightly. Really just a half-pixel 
so it's not that sharp compared to the outer border-radius. You can also shade 
the stroke with a gradient as well so it doesn't feel so flat -- darker on top, 
lighter at the bottom. I would chop that one pixel row on the 16x16 so that the 
switch is surrounded by the same padding on both sides. Lower the opacity of 
the white text lines down a notch. Tweak the switch on the 32 and 48 to be less 
tall so it's more consistent in shape between the sizes. The smaller the size, 
the more contrast you usually need to put in. As you can see on the glass 
reflection -- it's nicely visible on the 48, but a lot harder to make out on 
the 32.

Now that you are getting the hang of it, I am looking forward to more icons :)

cheers
