Thanks, for working on the page.

Here is the feedback from the design meeting:

the UI design looks good, a few minor suggestions:

===Device Icon===
- the disconnect option in the device icon palette should use an icon 
just like other network devices.
- the connection time should be shown in the primary palette, eg. 
"connected for 02:22" instead
-  data sent: make that: [UP] 23kb     [DOWN] 31 kb

===Control Panel===
- left align the options

===Icon===
Eben will follow up with an icon.
