right ... I personally need to use i.e. the indicators far less often
than the back button, in that light having them at the top is a fine
decision. 
Having the back button where it is now means we either make sure app
developers write apps where going back is a rare occurrence which I
simply doubt we can ... I agree that placement of the back button
depends on its frequency of use, I can only judge by what we have today
and there s is one of the most used elements IMHO. Other OSes have
solved that by either restricting to a certain device size or by simply
placing it more conveniently ...
