The old icon being bad doesn't make the new icon good.
They should have just taken the iPhone iTunes Music Store icon. That'd have looked much better.
Got a tip for us?

Just like the postage stamps on the Mail app are outdated?
I agree CDs are outdated, but that doesn't mean you should remove something that many people can relate to instantly in replacement for a crappy and uninformative web 2.0 icon.
I see your point. I have been buying CD's for almost 12 years. This past March when I went full on digital, it's so nice not having to get a CD...wait for it in the mail, open it, rip it and then find a place for it. Apple's high quality encoding is enough for me that I can't hear a difference. I am so happy I am done with CD's. I haven't gone in a few months and say oooh, let's go get a CD. Plus you're technically going green buying digital music.
Sorry if some of that didn't make sense it's really early.

Me too, but I thought SJ is right, it is clearly not a CD since the blue means a Blue Ray Disc! lol

You could just put all the apps you don't use in one folder and like call it something like "useless" then you don't have to worry about them that much as you wouldn't have to into that folder.
Just put them in a god damn folder and put that folder on the last page and quit complaining. Sheesh!! Just because you don't use it doesn't mean every other iPhone user doesn't use them either
We have this new, ugly iTunes X logo and you're harping on apps you don't use. Get your priorities straight.
If you want the old one back, just change it.
As to the default apps, yeah, I agree to some extent. I like that they're on the phone by default, but I'd at least like to be able to uninstall them optionally, or hide the icons. But then, I guess that's what jailbreaking is for.
its not so much the removal of the CD as it is the fact that it really doesn't fit with the rest of the iLife logos anymore
looks like a 3rd party app now
I see people of all ages using an iPhone and Steve Jobs probably has a lot of stocks he likes to keep tabs on.
I dunno why Folders aren't like Stacks, would make more sense, aesthetic wise. At the very least, why not display 4 apps in the folder icon instead of leaving this open space (as you reach 9 apps, you see 9 little app icons in the folder). Poor aesthetics if you ask me.
If u don't like the logo change it on your computer, it's apples marketing not yours. If u like apples stuff ur still gun a buy it, I happen to like the new one, it is a little plain but otherwise still nice
Im not bothered that much, but if they would allow to make some native apps invisible like nike+ I would be happy.
I just liked the good old days of just one page of apps. Now, that's not even possible with a clean install. Apple's apps now extend into multiple pages by DEFAULT.
I want to uninstall Voice Memos, Compass (what a useless app), Socks and Game Center.
Also, why do I need a separate Contacts app when all of my contacts are neatly inside the phone app? Why can't Camera and Photos be combined into one icon as well?

Like others said, put it in a folder. I actually use voice memos and compass, it comes in handy for work.
I never said they didn't come in handy for other people, but I don't want them. I think voice memos and stuff should be optional installs.
Those apps should be just like iBooks and the MobileMe apps. Downloadable for free (if you WANT them).
Imagine if iBooks, Find my iPhone and iDisk came pre-installed on every device with no way of uninstalling or hiding them?
SSH? Sure, I can hack my phone and remove the apps, but I'd rather not have to jailbreak.
I'm not saying they're impossible to get rid of, I just think Apple should change the way they give us these mandatory apps. They should make them optional instead.
How would you like it if your computer came with a bunch of free software that you don't wan't, but the only way to remove them is to change the root password and log in as administrator to remove them? The average person isn't going to know to do that.
Oh im with ya. Id like to get rid of some things on my Vibrant too. Just didnt think you had to jailbreak to SSH into the iPhone.
I really wish they would let us get rid of the stock apps on the phone too. It's wasted homescreen space, and forces me to use a folder, which I hate. I don't like the way folders look.
ROFLI have a better name for the folder.
