Mad About Mac? 5:36pm on 10 Jun 2008 no other phone in existence has been publicised as much as the iphone, but why on earth shouldn't it have been?

the bbc does not report on figures in sport and entertainment because they particularly like or support them - they report on them because of their successes, their popularity and because people want to know more about them.

time and time again apple manage to produce groundbreaking products which work and work well. established phone manufacturers have tried for years to come up with a device that achieves everything the iphone has but have failed. if nokia had developed a product as revolutionary and as well received as the iphone, i have no doubt that the bbc would be highlighting it too. why therefore shouldn't the bbc report on such an innovation, particularly one as popular as iphone?

i have absolutely no interest in linux but i do not take offence at the seemingly never ending cycle of stories about the latest open source developments.

just switch off.
Homepage Two Months On: Your Feedback 9:42pm on 29 Apr 2008 Always nice to know your comments are read... and by a human being too!

Looking forward to customisation update, particularly with the external widgets appearing - netvibes will stay as my homepage for the time being, but a Gmail checker will make me switch! Can't wait for the food widget too!

Video sounds very interesting, but I do wish more effort would be made with the image based promos. I've sent feedback about this a couple of times as I'm so often amazed by how incredibly amateurish the designs are. I can't help but think that the simple photo/semitransparent text combos should be used for all promos as any time the design team 'gets creative' its shocking how bad the results are! Misplaced, poorly proportioned text, very random fonts and irritatingly small iPlayer logos (what's with the Panorama promo tonight?!) are just a few of the things that make me grimace on a daily basis... please get these sorted before you even think about introducing video!
Homepage Two Months On 5:49pm on 23 Apr 2008 Talk about teasing - I eagerly clicked that Beta link then with nothing of interest behind it. How can you be so cruel!

All sounds great - I've really settled in to the new homepage, I just wish the personalisation could be linked to my bbc.co.uk account to follow me as I use about six different computers at one time or another!
