Latest iPhone 3.0 Beta Allows 11 Pages of Apps (180 Apps)

[Royale w/cheese]

I think you're missing the point. The implication was this is an April Fool's joke. And now you must feel silly.

No, it was implied that it was, which I realized. My implication was to do something else then to participate in it by complaining and calling others gullible, when I believe we all take things said on this day with a grain of salt.

You did not tell me anything I didn't know. I don't feel silly at all, do you?


But it does go up to 11.

 

[Zincous]

148apps.com will have to make a new site lol

QUICK someone go steal the 180apps.com domain name before they do!

I think all of you missed Doctor Q's post.

That is what the antivirus companies are going to say about the conflicker virus. April Fools*

*all sales final

 

[Apple iKid]

Cool! More pages to fill now!

 

[pimentoLoaf]

When are they going to have Final Cut Express Mobile available?

 

[MrSmith]

I don't feel silly at all, do you?

Now I do...

Any news on how many Apps we will be allowed to have running in the background?
Is it limited to a fixed number, like five, or could we have all 180 Apps running in the background?

180 Apps ... just makes me think about how many Apps are on my phone right now that I haven't used in over a month (half of them).

.

Apple is currently allowing half of your total apps to run in the background, so if you had the maximum of 180 apps installed, you could have 90 apps running in the background. The memory constraints have been alleviated because iPhone 3.0 is now capable of addressing the free space in flash as if it were RAM.

It would have to be Pro. Express would not be able to run in the background.

 

[laughingperson5]

YAY!! finally...but they should put like "Stacks" on it or something

 

[Royale w/cheese]

Now I do...

Well today is a day that no one can hold feeling silly against you...

Unless you get caught with someone holding something silly against you.

Ugh, just introduce folders already.

I doubt they will, everything Apple has done in the last 4+ years has been to get people to stop thinking in terms of "folders". Most likely Apple will intend for those people with a lot of apps to forget about organizing them and just use spotlight to find/launch the apps.

 

[Tanj]

This is dumb.
Should have added some new category type springboard option.


The reason I don't simply want more space is because a full screen is ugly and crowded. This doesn't solve that problem, it only makes it worse.

Sure spotlight lets me find and run them quickly, but it doesn't help me organize my phone.

But I mean, sure it's still great for those people that have 9 pages full. It's not categories though. And categories would have solved the same problem more elegantly.

Found this in build #2. Anybody know what to make of it?

Notice plain old "Store" down in the menu. Doesn't specify what store, just "Store."

Then when you tap "Store", you get:

I'm assuming this is a placeholder for something coming up later, but it looks hella weird.

[Pooshka]

cool. not that i would even have 180 apps let alone even have an iPhone, but a large maximum is welcome.

[insert English accent] "Look see, it's still got the 'ol tagger on it see, never even played it, see…"

[insert American accent] "You just bought it, you…"

[insert English accent] "Don't touch it!"

no more quotes, i promise .

 

[hhaeschen]

While I'm all for choice and against restrictions by Apple, I wonder who the hell has more than 148 apps that are used on a regular basis.

Spring is here! Clean up your iPhone!

 

[talkingfuture]

I can't believe anybody would find use for that many Apps.

 

[phiberglass]

Man you guys are so GULLIBLE.

I hate April Fool's day.

Worthless waste of my time and mental energy.

It's confirmed....

[jdechko]

Just do folders or stacks or something. I dont need 11 pages. And I'd like the ability to hide or uninstall some default apps (like the stocks app).
