iPhone usage tip

I discovered this by accident when the iPhone 3.0 OS came out.

I put all the applications I use on the first page of the home screen.  I have a LOT of applications installed, most of which I never use.  All the applications I use on daily basis are on the home screen.

For some reason, it created a blank home page after the primary home page screen.  In there it put the new applications.  As new applications that use 3.0 features like push notification came out, they got installed right after the main page.  This was incredibly useful because I didn’t have to hunt through pages of applications or lose a possibly useful application in the mess.  I knew all the new applications were going to be on the sparsely populated 2nd page.

So my suggestion is to make a blank page after your home page to put newly installed applications that need to prove themselves before either being promoted to home page status or banished to the later pages.
