Hi Bob - just an idea for a progress indicator - you could advance a progress indicator through a browser widget. This would work even when the screen is locked, allowing you to show progress while not having unlock and lock each time.
The widget requires a fair bit of overhead, so that might not be ideal, but it would work perfectly.
