Our TiPb Forums are the best iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV community on the ‘net (and in the ‘verse!) and proof positive is this wonderful poem posted by user dmcary:

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the TIPB store Were decorations for my new iPad and much, much, much more!
With Georgia in her T-Shirts and Leanna in her cap,
Rene settled in for a long Garrett rant.
When out from the forums there arose such a clatter,
I turned down the podcast to see what was the matter.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a free 32 gig iPad for Christmas this year!
The extra 3G love makes it so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment my story had to be slick.
Now Ally, now Dieter, now Jeremy and Farbod;
Team Jailbreak, Team Pure send that shinny gift down here!
Use your Waze Social Navigator to keep traffic out of sight,
And most of all Happy Christmas and to all a GOOD NIGHT!

Thank so much Derrick! Do you have a holiday poem for TiPb? A limerick perhaps? Please share, just try to keep it family friendly!

Today is a good day, we have had a few Android related stories today here at TiPb but competition is good. It will only make Apple kick things into high gear and improve on what is arguably the top touchscreen phone on the market today. That brings us to the first thread I want everyone to check out. It’s brought to us by none other than our very own writer extraordinaire, Rene. Android vs iPhone! What are your thoughts?

Our next thread comes to you from forum member sturamsden, and he wants to talk more about the rumored 32 gig iPhone 3G. I honestly can’t see it coming out this soon but who knows… anything is possible, no? Finally here is a thread that yours truly started, how many home screen pages do you use? I found 3 home screen pages to be a perfect fit for me, how about you?

Today on the forums we have a few hot topics for you to check out:

First let’s start off by taking a look at the latest iClone… the Blackberry Thunder/Storm. Do you think it really is a iPhone killer? Make your voice heard and vote in the poll! Next up is a thread started by mikecc and he wants to know if you are using your iPhone for gaming more than anything else? Stay tuned to TiPb in the next few days for more coverage of the iPhone as a gaming platform.

If you are addicted to Spore: Origins, as some of us here at TiPb are, be sure to check out the “Show of Your Spores” thread! Rene’s spore is pretty creepy looking… And last but not least the last thread of the day discusses the upcoming 2.1 firmware… so head on into the forums and let us know what you are thinking!

[Ed: Many of you know Jeremy as the most Bad Ash moderator this side of Cupertino. Well, we've finally convinced him to tear it up here on the TiPb front page as well. What's he going to choose for his debut post? Heh. Like there was ever any doubt...]

Since you can usually find me on the iPhone Blog Forums I figured I may as well make my first post about some of the happenings over there. So what’s going on?

Firmware 2.0.2 tips and tricks thread is a good place to check out if you are looking for some nifty pointers in the TiPb forums.  SM12 wants to know  what phones did you replace with your iPhone?  Another discussion that is going on is from Scottdoc and he needs help deciding what is the best software for converting DVD’s for use on the iPhone.  Can you help him out?  

Also be sure to check out the new section to our forums that Dieter just added, other devices and gadgets.  Are you a Windows Mobile fan?  How about Blackberry?  Android?  Join our community and mix it up then!  What are you waiting for?! Go ahead and join our community and get in on the conversation!
