Attn GS Editors and relevent decision makers: So as to properly capture and accurately represent the iOS community, would it be appropriate to change the naming convention of the "iPhone" channel to the "iOS" channel? Adopting this change would effectively alleviate any alienation of the iPad and iPod touch community and could possibly work towards capturing new readership from these submarkets. Thanks!

I agree with this suggestion since Android is comparable to iOS, not a specific device.

Since the iPod Touch, iPad and iPhone share these apps I think the iOS channel is best.

I subscribe to this notion, as well. iOS has become a universal platform on which iPod, iPhone and iPad owners can play multiplayer cross-device games with themselves. It would only make sense considering that the Android channel covers a variety of gadgets including tablet devices.

Indeed it's the most logical solution.

Pity that there has yet to be any official editorial acknowledgement here.

The staff have a lot on their plates and you can't expect them to read through every thread posted here very quickly. If the thread gets enough support then it's bound to come across their attention and then they will tell us whether they think it's a good idea or not.

As an Android user, I disagree with this suggestion. I think it should be renamed "Mobile Channel".

It was an attempt to re-open discussion a little more gracefully than replying "bump."

As an Android user, you should be satisfied that you already have a channel called "Android." To do as you have suggested would be like combining the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii channels into one channel called "Console Game Channel."

iOS and Android are two very different beasts.

Well since I replied to it, I guess it worked :P.
