That's in your opinion. You don't speak for everyone, nor is your opinion fact. Quit acting like you rule the world.

Possibly. I still think it shows that they're having to work on these because these are the apps where I've had the most issues.

Ok, so when you say an you don't like an icon, that's an opinion, but when I say I don't like an icon I'm being a jerk.
Thanks, that's very helpful advice.
What? Who the heck are the people who LIKE the current one!?
Seriously? You think having "SMS" across there made it good? You don't think it's the worst icon on the iPhone?
Well, ok. Here you go, I've improved the other icons to go with it!
Wow - so much better!
Wow, that's a terrible argument.

yep and the iPod icon. I'm not really feeling them, but it's not something to get worked up about.
Stevearm! we miss you in the Now Playing icon thread. Where have you been?

You're telling me "PEOPLE" didn't make you laugh?
Apparently I'm the only one who thought that was really funny.

I don't think they will be there on the final version.. Maybe the keynote pic's were just a screen shot of the phone itself.. At least I hope so...

i think the sms logo should have been left unchanged they should had made a seperate icon for mms as the new icon is plan without the words

What the heck is that supposed to mean? If you remember correctly... we're not allowed to delete default apps, so there's no "not using it" because it's always going to be on the screen to look at.
Anyone else here think the new Voice Memos app doesn't look like a standard Apple icon? It looks so out of place next to the bright, well designed icons.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw it too. It looks like a third party app icon. But whatever, when the jailbreak comes out, I'll just poof it away so I don't have to look at it. 🙂
Can anyone post a screenshot of these new icons you guys are talking about or would someone be able to email a screenshot (not trying to get anyone in trouble)?

Perhaps they haven't shown the new graphics to Steve yet... heh.
A lot of us Mac users coming to the iPhone are graphics-oriented people. We like good interface designs and Apple is usually good at providing top notch GUI quality. The fact is... looking at the new icons... they don't look like they belong next to the old icons. They don't look like the same people designed them that designed the original icons.
Maybe they're place-holders for right now and they're working on a new GUI design for the final 3.0 release. Who knows. Maybe even just a new springboard design.... or perhaps they're going to redesign ALL of the icons to be more like the new style.

I personally was hoping for a complete gui make-over for the 3.0, but oh well.. I think that they should have redesigned all of the icons or none of them. Hopefully since it's beta things will keep progressing and changing.
