I'm not happy the design is ready yet for inclusion, some quick comments:

 - Use of the camera icon (especially in the device frame) suggests it involves camera hardware.
 - Is taking a screenshot really a feature that should be in the device section of the frame?
 - The device frame is filling up fast and furious in this cycle, we already need to add an icon for raising the OSK, and an icon for controlling the hardware display brightness/monochrome mode.
 - The palette shown in the screen shot is named Display.
