It seems like Greenland is the new Madagascar for me, but it sounds like that is being fixed in the next update. For what it is worth, a few thoughts/suggestions:

If you're taking some time to create a "News" section, I think it would be really cool if it were more like a timeline. So it would show the date, and then the news that occurred on that date. If you plan on putting all news items in there, it would be cool to have a toggle to see just the important "yellow" news items.

One feature I miss from the second Flash game is that the icons on the map would dim when the country turned them off. So, if Madagascar shut off it's port, it's icon would go dim. I'd love to have that back. It seems like it was easier to tell when a country was wiped out in the flash version as well.

I've had trouble getting the deceiver and corruptor traits. Haven't figured out corruptor, and no matter how little lethality I design a virus with - I've made one with absolutely none - it always seems to end up killing at least a few people.

It seems like Rodent or Bird hosts should get a stats upgrade. Of all the "Support" stats, only the transmission methods at the bottom don't have a 2 star option. Since bird and rodent are both one star, it could be an opportunity to bump one of them up to the 2 star level.

Speaking of support stats, it seems like there isn't a lot of value in the Heat/Cold past level 2? Based on the temp shown on the virus creation screen, it doesn't seem like any of the countries are routinely above or below the temps covered by level 2.

When completely zoomed out it feels like the scrolling is a big slow/hard. It might be different on an iPad - I'm playing on an iPhone 3GS.

I just ran the battery out on my phone again, so I'll have to wait before I can experiment and comment further . I'm absolutely loving the game though - even better than the previous title, which I greatly enjoyed as well.
