Even if we ignore for a second the fact that the Apple slogan takes 4.25" on my screen while your thing takes 10.5", there is this: you are not introducing the best iPods ever. You are asking the user to perform a very trivial stage in the registration procedure. If the font boldness, and not that, was the first thing that came to mind, I suggest hiring someone else to do the design.

If I sound spiteful, it's because I'm envious. The thought of making a meta-social-network crossed my mind, but it never occurred to me why anyone would want to use it, especially at the start. Feeds! Duh.

okay, you got me -- i'll admit it: i spent 30 seconds making the graphic, and .5 seconds looking at it. maybe i'll change it. i'm not a designer, and i didn't think it was worth my time.

but i would guess from our verification rates that it's not turning too many folks (besides you and the 3 who upmodded you?) away. who knows... maybe i'll do some a/b testing and see if it makes a difference.
