Hey Hey, I honestly think this is a cause for celebration :). It took as a
while but I think we're all happy now with it. The best thing about it IMHO
is that it's a combination and that's what this is all about this whole
thing :). Tweak away.

One thing I do want to sort out though is the circle on the logo (noticed it
but didn't have time to sort it out). On the left hand side the circle seems
to be cut short, just to make sure we sort it out before Joshua starts
coding it all in.

The little blue at the top is a tiny slither, you were spot on that it was
too much. This gives it just enough to make it all look like an ipod (in a
good way :).

Right I'll start typing out thoughts on the dashboard now :).

GO TEAM!!!
