That's all rhetorical fluff, though. Pretty-looking UIs and hooks to external APIs are all meaningless if the app doesn't do something greatly beneficial.

What do you do with the app that makes it so special? You mention using its output on your iPod to remind yourself not to purchase duplicates. Is that all?

The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting.
