The concept of the application bar is great, however, the icons turn out to be a bit small and hard to read. Maybe numbers would work just as well.

Would you really prefer numbers? We considered it initially but it does not look as good:

The key idea is that you want to put the applications you use all the time on the application bar so that you will soon become familiar with their icons: you will soon recognize that little black phone for address book.

I notice that the launcher does not include any application that has been placed on the application bar. I would prefer that it did.

This is intentional: why give two ways to access the same application (three if you count the launcher) and waste some of the 21 slots available?

On both points, I would like to know what others think.
