Redesign the Android "back" button or replace it with a swipe gesture...?
The one thing that is getting on my nerves with Adroid phones generally is, how ridicilously it may sound - the silly, curvy "back" button. I just hate it ;) And now we still have it on Dalvik. How about redesigning it?
Or, even better: Can the back button be replaced with a gesture? That would make running adroid apps look like native ones, and there would be more space on the screen, with the button gone...?

Edit: For example, I could easily get used that swiping from the right edge is "back" and from the left one would still send the app to background, etc. I'm sure that some compromise coud be made
