		<description>I would appreciate more constructive criticism about my typography. :( Near as I can tell the only thing to really be bothered with is that it is centered... the spacing is otherwise quite carefully chosen in that description box.

As for the home page: the blue text is a hyperlink. Links are pretty much always blue on the Internet. Apple uses a weird blueish gray: check out the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions link at the bottom of the search page in the iTunes application. Would that be better? They use the strong blue color, though, on that same page, for things that they usually use black for, so its not like there&#039;s any standardization there, and its not like blue is a bad choice.

The boxes are only ever different sizes if their content is of different sizes, which in turn only happens if they contain text in the form of paragraphs. Really, the sizes and shapes of my interface element are even more consistent than Apple&#039;s, which are always a pixel different above and below because they use an odd height for their table cells even though they use an even height for their font (sloppy)... they also tend to have randomly rearranged content strewn through their applications... the iTunes application in particular has very little consistency.

The &quot;and keep your information on file.&quot; button /does/ suck, I will definitely say that... that thing is really bad and I haven&#039;t had time to improve it at all ;(. That wasn&#039;t mentioned in the critique, though.</description>

		<description>Preshit has a good point about the time it takes to load Cydia whilst it accesses all the background servers. 

I find it frustrating at the amount of &#039;themes&#039; , &#039;wallpapers&#039; and &#039;ringtones&#039; that are downloaded each time.

Cydia is brialliant, but just wish the user had the option to filter out all the rubbish. Would speed up the time it takes to open Cydia.</description>

		<description>Well, if that&#039;s your only gripe, you can choose to have the original logos left untouched.</description>

		<description>Six complete restores in my six days jailbroken took all of the luster out of jailbroken apps, which were surprisingly limited. Don&#039;t get me wrong, customizing my look rocked. Double-tap searching was cool. But seeing the Steve Jobs speaking German or whatever logo every day was not.</description>

		<description>My only gripe about Cydia is a wait time I&#039;ve to go through every time I launch the app. Sure, it has to gather the data from their servers, but it&#039;s still taking my time. And the app does this every single time.

That said, I do welcome the integrated payment process. I&#039;m sure the apps that are going paid next are a video recording app, better SMS management (BiteSMS?) and Clippy.</description>
