Any comments on this:
and this:
also, what if we use a mascot (space frog named Mr. Awesome):
This is for http://idev.tv, a new flash template system. Comments appreciated

1st Image: I think the code picture should be on the left with graphics version on the right.
2nd Image: Why are there 3 windows? What do the 2 graphics windows have to do with each other? It's a little confusing.
Mascot: eh...it's not doing anything for me, yet.

1) We read left to right. Comics go left to right. Your arrow should go left to right.
2) I liked this improvement beyond the previous 'formulaic' mechanic you had. Shouldn't 'SEO' point at the address bar? Not sure I like the standardised 'Magnifying glass' mechanic - it looks a bit bleh (imo) and it fails when pointing out the 'highly customisable' and XML features.
3) Have you seeen 'King of Kong'? Or, failing that, are you thirteen? 'Mr Awesome' the 'space frog'? Really? That's kind of thing I mightve done on the back of a school book when I was really very young. Again, imo - I just think this is a non-creative solution to a problem that I can't see.
- Aye, yeah - as B2D points out - you only really need two windows in that second image.detritus

I read a piece by one of the Nokia management recently, focussing on how they're losing their market share to Apple.
One point he made was how Nokia had, in the modern socially-connected web x.0 context, beun outsuorcing its creativity to its users, relying too much on user feedback and design by mass consensus. Apple, in opposition, do their own thing - and to hell with anyone who Thinks Different.
What I'm getting at is, perhaps you should just go ahead and launch and not put too many questions on out on forums - you'lll get a thousand different opinions and perspectives, many of which are contrary to one another.
The last thing you want when trying to find your own frequency is other people's noise.

The three windows in the second img were meant to show "highly customizable" feature - it's the same design just different params. And yes detritus you might be right about the mascot...
Good comments

detritus, in essence we have launched as early as possible - the core functionality is there, just we don't have sufficient documentation that's why we had to throw the "beta" in there.
Constructive feedback however is the most valuable thing for us at this stage.

Paul,
looks like a DIY page. Colours, textures, and this can be a direction. But woul'd be better to use visual codes participate in web related. The shadows are...They clog...
The eyes go left to right. Do in the same way.

I don't care what this IS, that's your end, tell me why I would want it because of what it can DO for me..
