I love the animation when swapping identities but it is challenging to discover.

It would be nice to have this in Orbot  instead of Privacy Guard, then it can also be more "network" centric.

Please yes with a firewall, though, outside applications over Tor, it seems that this would be best implemented at the exit routers.

Yes, please.  This could very well be the introduction point to Onion Services for many.

> 
> OrbotRelay/Bridge: improved UI for

> within Orbot.

Yes, please.  Same introduction point as above.  In theory, a good interface is one that allows people to teach themselves.

>

Yes, please.

Yes, please.  It would be great to select each node in a circuit in addition to *just* the country.

> 
> OrbotWear / OrbotTV
> 

Yes, please.

Separate versions for the rich and the poor?  You could do like LinkedIn and allow more functionality through paid version and charge those who need more security (;

Wordlife,
