iPhone OS 4.0 Gets Folders

iPhone OS 4.0 Gets Folders

Sick of all your iPhone apps being arranged higgledly-piggledly across multiple screens? iPhone OS 4.0 takes care of that. Now you get folders.

The way it works is you just drag an icon from one app onto another app to create a folder containing both. For example, drag Plants vs. Zombies onto Sword of Fargoal and you create a games folder.

Now, when you want to play a game, all you have to do is tap on the folder, then tap on the game you want.

This is such a brilliantly simple, down-to-earth take on app classification. Say goodbye to the ten horizontal swipes it takes you to get to the end of your iPhone apps: folders will organize everything nicely under a single page.

    It’s about damn time! Geeze, my Palm Tungsten could let me organize all my apps in tabs, this is simply way overdue. As is multitasking. Now we’re talking seriously portable computing.

    Gimme the little Bluetooth keyboard (like I also had for my Palm Tungsten) and my ipod Touch (and and maybe one o’ them cute, soon-to-be, 5×7 iPads) and I’m happy.

    No, wait, I still want calendar alarms that are real sounds – not that insipid “Tink” – and that are audible, loopable and repeatable. That’s all. For now…
