    Layout looks great. Not sure if the Sentinel italics are working under the icons though.

    Love the book/magazine treatment on the Scoble image. And is that Readability baked in?

    I hear that Dave. Really struggling with whether to have any type under the icons.
    Jason: no comment.

    A simple bit of Helvetica perhaps? http://d.pr/zlJM

    Meant to thank you Dave - very helpful just to see another simple option like that.

    @Geoff about type under icons: All the UX/IA type people always like that, but I'm really a fan of no labels when possible. Take 'Twitter for iPhone' for example. It doesn't need to say 'Timeline, Replies, DMs, etc.' on the views bar because it's a frequently used app that people are familiar with after a few times of use. No need for indefinite labels on frequently used items.

    @Matt: It's an interesting topic, but it's not so black and white in my opinion. The first version of the app used type only for things like top stories and categories. But this version gets a bit more complex with added sections. Some of the sections can be easily represented as icons, others, not as much. Unlike a Twitter client we're dealing with things less known and universal then 'reply'. Additionally the app itself is a relatively new category of app, so there's not as much knowledge being brought in by the people using it. I agree, the learning curve is likely short but the thinking (at least for now) was to update the app with the type+icon and look to revise for the next update since we'll need to re-architect some things anyway. This is really great feedback Matt - appreciate it.

    Totally agree ... and I could probably argue both ways. In my subjective point of view, I like the element of discovery to be a factor as well. Like .... hmmm wander what that flame is ... or that arm chair, then I tap it to find out. Plus, there's that baked in "like to be surprised" element for iPad users. I know the nav is different but still ... that's my story. :)
