• optionally require a pin code to send money for additional security?
• ability to generate more than one receive address
• make backup to the cloud optional for those who want the privacy
• move to a "thin client" implementation instead of storing the entire blockchain (this will become necessary as the blockchain grows over time)
• make an easy link to the Bitcoin Faucet for people to get a few coins on the device when they first try it
• clicking a bitcoin link in the mobile browser should open the send money screen (with fields filled in) using Android intents

Bitcoin Android is based on the bitcoinj library by Mike Hearn at Google. He deserves some very special thanks!

It also makes use of the zxing library for processing QR codes. The icon was created by visualpharm.com.
