Hallo.
Is it ever possible that one can't load more than 144 apps on the iPhone (and iPod Touch) because the springboard (I believe the Menu is called "springboard") has only nine pages? And the other apps one downloads, where can be found and how can be used? Anyway, I don't want to hack or pown or "set free" my devices.
Thank you everybody and best greetings.

I didn't even know there was a 9 page limit.

So no, I can't help.

I recently just began hearing about the nine page limit. I have been up to eight, but then delete a bunch, so I have never maxed out.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Youve got to ask yourself do you need 144 apps?

richwig83, you're probably right, but I just wanted to know how comes Apple has tens of thousands of applications in its shop (and may of them are free, if this is an issue) yet nobody can have more than 144 in his menu. E.g., I'd like to install Spore (that I have already payed for and sits on my computer) but I have to delete something. If I get to the store on air, I'll learn that Spore is already installed, but God only knows where it is.Quite weird, don't you agree?
Thank you for your time.
