Have you loaded up so many apps on your iPhone you’re now pushing the nine screen limit? Do you ever want to just get back to your home Home screen and wish you didn’t have to start swiping screens back across the phone face?
The latest update to iPhone software 2.2 has a nice little feature built in that will take you home – just push the “Home” button.
So simple. Surprising, actually it took ’em this many updates to load that one in, but thanks, Apple!

How do you know that?
Didn’t they say that they work down the priority list ?!
As with copy&past, down at the list.
a welcome feature
What I wish for is the ability to scroll in either direction. How crazy is it that I have to scroll 9 pages to get to my last app page when I could just scroll one page in the other direction?
Do you know that you just have to tap the small white dots to go from screen to screen?
Unfortunately you still have to go from 1 through 8 to get to 9, but I feel that is is a bit less cumbersome than swiping.
Would be nice with a way to scroll directly to last page, for example by holding the home button and scrolling the reverse way. Tried it – doesn’t work…
Very nice addition, I have to admit. I was starting to get a little annoyed after about three pages of apps. Nine is the limit? Wow. :D
