Well, there IS the “hidden 10th page”, but we’ll get into that later.

Don’t be a tease - what’s that alla bout?

Come on doc! Not like we’re ever gonna actually get to the 10th page, but we wanna know!

So, how many apps do you actually use on a regular basis?

I’m guessing the 10th page is the extra one you get when you’re in ‘wiggly icon rearrange mode’. It gives you a buffer page to stick things while you’re moving stuff around.

It would only be useful for storage, you can’t launch an app while in wiggly mode. But I guess that’s better than nothing… you know, if consider 10 pages ‘nothing’

And you’ve actually wasted a LOT of time!

If you would just take 10 apps, put each of them onto a different page, you would notice that the 10th one can’t be moved further.

So 9 x 16 + 4 = 148

I have 149, because I’m running a jailbroken 2.1, but aside from that, they can’t be moved up, down or to the left, so there is NO 10th page.

(And if you do find it and I happen to move to the us, I will buy you a beer!)

well, if you use “Categories” on a jailbroken phone (which puts apps into folders of sorts) you might be able to fit more, if that’s what you’re into

I don’t believe it. There is no hidden 10th page. He’s lying.

ok, i apologize, i take it back

More interestingly, does the phone take longer to startup or return to the springboard?

And although it would have been far more boring, you could have done this with one app per page, although that would have required maths..

I KNOW what the hell was he thinking he wasted all that time when we could of been jacking off… what a fucking tard. I think I herd him say that he downloaded 145 apps holly fuckin shit why not just ad web pages to your home screen or just 1 per a page for experimentally purposes.OMG!!!!!!!!! But its ok some people just don’t think before they act.

He lied about the 10th page. We should bend him over and make him take it up that ass

Can I put the question differently here ? How many apps on an iphone 3g before you get the apple icon of death ? Never quits loading or sends you for a reset ?

Tell me what you're thinking...
