[OT] More Apple Foolishness

[Howard Bornstein]

There are a couple of apps that deal with these deficiencies very
intuitively:

Multi-icon mover, where you put the apps in wiggle mode and then tap which
ever apps you want to move, even if they are on different home screens. Then
just go to the page or folder where you want them moved to and hit the home
button and they are all moved there at once.

Sprintboard, which lets you drag your fingers across the home page dots to
quickly scroll through the home pages.

These apps make it very easy to move icons around different pages and into
folders.

The rub is that you have to have a jailbroken iphone/ipad to use them.

Let's hope that Apple continues their habit of (slowly) copying jailbreak
innovation and eventually folding them into the IOS.
