Pippin, thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely take it to heart. I did
take a stab at a couple of the polish-related issues you raised, so
check out the next preview (or final release, as it may be).

As to your issues with the Android back button -- well, you're not
alone, but in my opinion, the alternative (the lack of a back button) is
far worse. Granted, you can get into some situations where the backstack
gets out of control (facebook app is crazy sometimes), but I think
Orange Squeeze walks a line once you get used to it. In general the icon
in the upper right takes you to the browse screen no matter where you
are, and resets the backstack at the same time. Most other things
preserve the backstack.

It's interesting that the issue of confirming with a user whether or not
to "quit" the app is raised. First, on Android there is no "quitting"
the app. Relaunching it brings you right back where you left off most of
the time automatically, but this issue just came up on the Android
developers group just in the last couple days, and a rookie developer
was shunned out of the room for asking how to implement a confirmation
like that. It's simply considered bad form on Android. There is a lot of
discussion about this on why and how and whatever, plenty of data to
find if you're interested. Without question, however, Orange Squeeze is
intended to be an Android app for Android users.
