A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.
Only the Skilled Survive
A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila.

That's what the notification icon at the top left is for. Swipe open notifications, click on new Gmail, and you're reading your Gmail. No real need to take up home screen space when new email notification is built in. Plus, in any app except full screen games you can also see that you have new email and jump to read it then come back to what you're doing without needing to find home, find widget, click, read, find home, find old app you were using, resume.
For me, the whole idea of NOT being home page icon centric is a huge advance of Android design over older ideas.
I am going to agree with the Facebook App. I hate it. The one on the iPhone/iPod Touch is so much better. I realize that's a facebook thing, and they need to get on that and fix it up.
I wish the default android home was more customizable. I have an alternative home (I use PandaHome) but it would be nice if the default was similar. I mainly want more screens as I am a huge fan of the widgets, and those take up a lot of space.
My next one is not a Droid problem, more of an Android problem. The marketplace needs a non-mobile version, like the App Store in iTunes. It would make things easier I think.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
AndroLib, Find all applications and games available in the Android Market for your Android Phone, HTC Dream, HTC Magic etc...
Still have to use the marketplace to DL them tho....
