Desktop Overview: Part 3 - iPhone Home Screen

For the third installment of my desktop overview, I thought I might share a different desktop. Rules violation? Nah.

My iPhone

Above you see my iPhone home screen. Since the Apps store launched I have played with plenty of apps and been incredibly pleased with the overall stock of the store. When using the all software versions prior to 2.0 I didn’t rearrange my icons, I kept things the way Apple designed them. With all of the utilities that I am now using on my phone, I figured it was time to change things a little bit.

Now, on my home screen I keep the apps that I need and use everyday and I reserve 3 other pages for 3rd party apps, a page for webclips, and a page for the Apple applications that have been replaced or that I just don’t use. Throughout those 3 pages I have my apps organized by type: Games and media (page 2), localized tools and utilities (page 3), webclips (page 4), Apple applications (page 5).

I expect things to change as more applications are released and as I begin to rely more heavily on certain ones. In closing I would like to share my top 10 applications (in no order)…

Favorite Applications

NetNewsWire - While a little unstable, it is so nice to have my feeds sync with my desktop application.

Evernote - Syncing is huge for a ‘notes’ based application. Look forward to updates.

1Password - Beautiful design. There to help manage all user ID’s and passwords.

Texas Hold’em - Well made and a blast to play. Multiplayer over a wi-fi network is a blast.

Motion X Poker - Perfect game to drop in and play a couple of hands. Very addictive though, caution.

Cube Runner - Navigate through a course of nothing but blocks. Challenging and very fun. Advice: Don’t calibrate.

Last.FM - Find artists you might enjoy and stream music from the web.

Remote - Control iTunes over your network.

BoxOffice - Check movie times and see ratings provided by Rotten Tomatoes.

Facebook - An incredibly easy way to have access to all of my friends.
