Experimenting with icons for the iPhone. The icons on the right are the ones I've been experimenting with, and are the most difficult ones. The bars that have 'Following' in the red button are ideas for browse, and the ones that have 'Me' in the red button show the 'sort by' icon.
The bottom right "sort by" makes sense to me. The one above it feels like it will open a "drop-down" list or something like that (hope that makes sense). The pointer hand doesn't say browse to me, it says "click me!". The globe icons make sense to me but if you were going to go with one of those I would say the top one looks the best to me. The second one down seems too networkie.
I'd say go for the first and the last. Don't you think that maybe the shaking is a little bit too heavy? Maybe making the displacement only horizontal without the twisting....

Lovely. I love the first "sort by" icon. Out of context, it's hard to say how obvious the browse icons are.

For the browsing metaphor I would go for the Hand icon, especially on an iPhone or iPad it is normal to use your finger to scroll.
The shake metaphor is spot on!

Nice work. In case "browse" refers to "browse in Safari" you could also use a stylized compass icon. But I guess the globe also works :)

I would like to see a user shaking their phone as vigorously as your icon! :D

I really like the "shake" icon, however, be forewarned that using graphic representations of the iPhone in apps is prohibited by Apple :\

My wrist hurts thinking about the vigorous shaking! Very crisp looking icons Veerle. Hope you can keep that iPhone icon :S
