To be honest I've not updated my Nexus to a recent image (until just 
now!) since we're approaching the "dog fooding" stage.  Anyway I did and 
my opinion may have changed.

I think "Expansion" is probably something we're not so familiar with as 
programmers and user interface designers, but will be very useful and 
eliminate the need for "back" in certain circumstances. 
http://design.ubuntu.com/apps/building-blocks/expansion

Also, the example shown in 
http://design.ubuntu.com/apps/building-blocks/page-stack - stage 2 - the 
app could easily have a "back" symbol to the left of Julia's head, no 
problem - ie the app could supply an obvious "back" when appropriate.

Also, glad I updated, it's come a long way recently!


Now I can't sleep at all, I think I'll watch some Justified :)


Till later,
Scott.
