I like the iteration idea a lot - I'm a little worried about the speed at which Moore's Law applies to networks. Yes, the devices will get better and faster, but if wireless speed is a bottleneck, that seems to improve at a slower rate.

Does anyone know if you can have a button on a website that lets the user put an icon on their home screen? Yes, they can add it themselves, but I bet you'd really like that icon.

There's this: http://cubiq.org/add-to-home-screen

It just points out where to click to put a bookmark icon on the homescreen (and I believe this is specific to iPhone/Safari given position of the icon relative to the screen).

It doesn't create an icon automatically for a user, but it's certainly helpful for those who don't know how to do it.
