That's one cool screen. How do you get all 500 apps to be visible on your screen? can you get like 5,000 apps visible on your provided they are organized in folder and/or alphabetically.

Also, regarding Spotlight. can spotlight search anything and everything that's hidden including a mistress's phone? :D


Is there a limit on how much apps can you install on a 32GB iPhone 3GS ? Has anyone reached beyond 500 apps ?

I have a pretty long list:

Nah that's nothing I have 535 apps on my 64gig iPhone and about 700 total. It runs with no problem and I also carry bout 2500 songs on my phone with a few movies still no operating trouble as long as I close out all of the running apps every now and again to prevent excessive battery consumption. Since I also purchased an iMac and had it maxed out it takes about 30 min max to get bout all 530 apps on the phone from a restore. Never had to do it other then getting a new phone every year but the long grueling part is organizing it into folders and alpabitizing them. It's a hassle but looks nice n classy when done plus I only took up four pages of full folders on phone so it looks well consolidated. I'm hoping to hit 1000 apps on my iPhone by next year. A man can dream. :p

If you really wanted to, you could just download every free app you see, then search for random keywords in the store and download those too and you'd hit a thousand in no time. That's a lot of free time you'd have on your hands to do that though.

Also, way to resurrect a super old thread :p
 
Well most of my apps are purchased i have bout 150 free out of 700 and yea I was curious to try this just setup my acct and everywhere else I went to, really didn't have much talk about excessive apps in their iPhones hehe
 
Its called spotlight Mr. Mathematician. You can have all the apps you want as long as you have space in the memory of the phone. However, after the last page you must search for the app via Spotlight. Its still on your phone, just not visible.

How does one earn the title of Mr. Mathematician? I would like to enter myself in the running.
