    I know we should. I used to do reviews and such for the front page when I was on the Member Review Team but I retired because I sold my iPod touch and bought a Zune HD. I'd still like to see more reviews on the front page even though I don't have an iDevice.

    You're not missing much, Tes. The only time I see worthwhile articles is when there is a major Apple event/release or a major competitor release. Also, sometimes if a popular application is released.

    You sold your iPod?

    I mean, I am trying to disregard your opinion and choice but don't you think at least currently iPod touch is worth more than the Zune HD value wise? With all the apps and tweaks you can have?

    I would like to know why you switched though, I am just curious. :D

    The Zune HD is a better media player and I got really sick of the iPhoneOS and so many boring and crappy applications. The design and OLED screen are also major reasons why I switched.

    Lol@the Apple fan boys in here.

    Android is spreading like crazy, with so many different choices of hardware (and UI), it is rapidly gaining userbase.
    The only thing currently lacking is the number of apps, most other things, the UI (and ability to replace it with others) especially.

    Besides: more userbase=more developers=more apps.

    Android is the way forward, live with it.

    The front page does NOT HAVE TO HAVE JUST NEWS ON IT. It's a medium where we can broadcast messages to the forum without PMing you all individually. If you don't want to see the cartoon, don't? It's no hassle for you to look at it. You're making the effort to click on the "Post Reply" button and make your opinion heard. And guess what? Noone cares. We get to choose what goes on the front page, not you, and we put stuff up for EVERYBODY not just your egotistical-selves. Now please. If you want a "front page" dedicated to your needs, make your own blog and write news that you care about, yourself. Ok? Thanks for your opinions!

    Good luck in your UCAS.

    What is your 5th choice, assuming you bothered to pick one?
