Default iOS

So, I think this is the right spot to place this thread...

I was talking with another iOS-wielding zB member, and I think under "Technology" there should be a sub-board "iOS".
We already have a sub-board "Console and PC Gaming" under there, so I think it's a good idea. Just a place to discuss iOS and not just clutter up "Technology".
Now I know a lot of people will shoot down this idea because this is a Zune website, and that is pretty much the direct competitor.
Just give your thoughts.

Not enough topics to warrant its own section.

I think it would look bad, but I see where you're coming from. We may/may not talk about it enough to warrant its own section, but that would look horrible coming from our website.

Soon enough we'd turn into iBoards.

I think a general (non WP7 or Zune) mobile device section would be more appropriate so it can include other things like Android.

I too agree with this. People on this site have other mobile devices than a Zune.

But other sites focusing on Apple have small sub sections for Android, etc. and it doesn't tarnish their rep one bit.

Also, thanks SteppingSplash

There's quite a big difference between iOS (one type of smartphone OS) and video games (an entire form of entertainment).

And yes, not near enough topics to warrant it. Forums only exist when enough topics are there to actually grant them activity, and in general should be kept to as few as possible.

I like the idea of a separate forum for various mobile phone OS's.
But, I agree with Locke. Not enough topics to warrant the 4 mouse clicks for a new area.

This is probably the best way to do it. Make it a "Other Mobile Devices" section.

I think a general phone area would be nice. You could include topics for Blackberry, Andriod, and iOS.
