They don't use anymore. They use class icon.

It looks like they still do. From http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#icons How to use With v2.0.0, we have opted to use an tag for all our icons, but they have no case class—only a shared prefix. To use, place the following code just about anywhere:

Yes, it looks like the docs are lagging behind the code. You just need to include the icon-something class in a tag.

My only fear is that widespread use of these kind of pre-designed frameworks might create a homogenized web. I understand that you can re-skin but I'm thinking many folks will go with the pre-built look/feel. Even so, this is awesome for getting stuff out quickly. Great job.

It kind of happened with Wordpress and Drupal default themes but the web is too big to go really that way and technology evolves very quickly, so today it's Twooter Bootstrap but tomorrow it will be NewFadCorp Boostrap.

On the topic of the responsive design module - when I view my project on an iPhone/iPad it shows the full screen version of the site, rather than the mobile version. However, it shows the mobile version on a samsung phone. Is there a reason for this?

Yes, it is based on media queries on the available screen real estate with differences as The phone will pick out the smallest one. Try turning the iPad into the portrait orientation.

I am going to chime in being negative against the wave of positive feedback here. Twitter has done well releasing this and when I first saw it ages ago it looked neat and fairly professional. However, like a pop song which has been completely overplayed on the radio it has become tired and frankly a bit annoying. It has its uses offline to quickly get a demo up and running but it shouldn't be used on a live site. At…

Lazy question: is it easy to remove that black bar? I think it's a terrible bit of navigation for "average user" kinds of people, who will easily miss it.

I'm very happy to see this new version. I have followed the 2.0-wip branch since the very beginning. At my company we use Bootstrap for a lot of different project as a barebone WordPress template with few additions in order to handle the semantic classes (and id) generated by WordPress.

Just don't add it in the first place.

Ah, cool, I thought it was some kind of default they gave you.

In your opinion, what is the mobile equivalent of Bootstrap or what combination of JS/CSS packages can function as a bootstrap-type jumpstart? I have a personal project that uses Bootstrap but it pains me to use it on my mobile device. The js templating (loading JSON data into the view) that I do is a necessary part but I'd be willing to hardcode.

Depending on what you're after, there's either the native app lookalike : http://www.chocolatechip-ui.com/ or you could go with a collapsible column grid along the lines of http://fluidbaselinegrid.com/ where by you have the one code base for mobile and desktop browsers.
