ive seen that the MR iTunes app is being pulled down today due to some sort of copyright infringement of sorts. id say that would happen if he were to do that as well.
Got a tip for us?

He doesn't need to upload it into the store. All the devs could download the XCode project and install the app onto their devices. And there's also Cydia... (It would of course be better if arn just accepted the app. I don't understand what takes him so long. If anything, an iPhone app will make MacRumors more popular.)
Is the MacRumours logo supposed to look like a little Chinese man screwing his eyes and saying "ooooh!"
As for the app - seems odd that MacRumours are an Apple-centric site and have no iPhone/iPad/Low graphics version. It's easily the slowest 3G-loading site I ever visit (which is why I rarely visit unless I'm on my Mac).
Why don't MacRumours just get on and design one? They're forever telling us how much busier and more popular the site is getting, so how about spending some of the money on updating a very tired website?

Probably because its a VERY scaled down version and most people want the full experience.

I've been using it for nearly 3 years. But like the main site it really needs an update. Hope the app comes out soon and is universal. !!!

its run by an external type vendor who is required to do the software update from his end. it could do with a few updates (e.g. seeing more then 1 page of subscriptions!) but i doubt it will happen any time soon.
Frakin' Cyclons!
Good first effort Saldinos, but I'm not in love with it. A little too much going on and the MR logo looks bloated. What's with the Keyhole? Keep working on it, but a decent initial effort.
Eh, I'm not keen on it, but hey, don't listen to me.
The icon isn't all that important for a v1 release - Arn or you can always change it later, and it's not like you will get more money if it sells more. Also I suspect most of the first wave downloaders will get it anyway even if the icon is rubbish.
I still really love the left one below. Tidy, clear, and stands out on a screen full of apps. Which the toaster thing won't do. There's a reason very few good programmers are also good graphic designers and vice-versa. Just different skill sets. BTW I'm a lousy programmer. Did it at uni and was dreadful. I'm sure you're 100x better than me.

I appreciate all your hard work sal, but I don't really like the icon. It's a little too busy for me( too much going on).
However I do like these icons. Although my preference would be the one on the left.
So.
Looks pretty nice also.Eh, I'm not keen on it, but hey, don't listen to me.

Those look definitely better. I like the one on the right slightly better, although I think I would get used to the left one.

+1
The one on the left looks much cleaner compared to saladinos one, keep it simple.
