iTunes Concept Shows How iPhone App Management Should Have Worked From the Start [IPhone Apps]
Gizmodo —
Add, delete, rate, and move—these are your app options on the iPhone. This interface concept, though, puts full app management within iTunes, and makes us wonder why it wasn't there in the first place. The concept is simple, and wouldn't require a change of habit by iPhone/iPod Touch users: in iTunes, users see a representation of their various home screen(s), with which they can remove, move or sort apps. Sorting options are an obvious addition—sorting by most-used is what most people do manually (and imperfectly) anyway, so having a one-click option for that would be an immediate ...
Building a better iTunes - A visual iPhone interface
Macenstein —
Building a better iTunes - A visual iPhone interface Given how the iPhone has become the new face of Apple, even more so than the iPod, it is frustrating that Apple has completely failed at integrating a decent iPhone management tool into iTunes. I probably have 3 times as many apps downloaded as I can fit on my iPhone at this point, and keeping track of them, let alone positioning them where I want them across my iPhone’s nine screens is way more time consuming than it needs to be. Well, take a look at the below concept video. We here at the lab have been talking about making a similar video, but we’ve just been too lazy, so we’re glad someone else got around ...
iPhone user concocts app management concept
Macworld —
by Dan Moren , Macworld.com As big an impact as the App Store has had on the iPhone, there’s at least one downside that’s accompanied the rapid influx of applications: the annoyance of managing them all. Apple’s made some small improvements in this regard—for example, it now keeps apps in the same location when you update them—but keeping track of them all can be a pain, especially if you happen to have over, say, 80 applications. One user thinks the solution to this problem is to be able to manage your iPhone apps in iTunes, and he even went ahead and whipped up a little suggestion of one way this could work. Let’s go to the video tape: ...

Concept: iPhone App Management from Within iTunes
Mac|Life all RSS Feed —
Probably the most frustrating thing about the iPhone and/or iPod touch--besides the lack of copy and paste--is app management. If you're dealing with two home screens you're fine. Once you get to four and more, every App Store purchase brings with it the dread of rearranging your carefully placed apps. YouTube user svdomer09 ...
Concept: App management in iTunes

February 23rd, 2009 Concept: App management in iTunes Posted by Jason D. O'Grady @ 10:20 am Categories: Concept , Software , iPhone , iPod touch , iTunes Tags: Apple iPhone , Apple Inc. , Apple iTunes , App , Mice , Digital Music , Keyboards , Digital Media , Hardware , Peripherals One of my biggest pet peeves with the iPhone these days is application management. There’s no easy way to do it. When apps get stale or after restoring an iPhone users are forced to spend a lot of time moving apps to and fro via Apple’s rudimentary click hold ...

iPhone Hacks —
Are you struggling to manage the growing number of iPhone apps that you have downloaded from the App Store? Do you find it painful to re-arrange the iPhone apps across multiple iPhone home screens and keep them organized?

He has published an impressive concept video to show how it should work.
Manage-able: iTunes May Yet Control Where Your iPhone App Icons Show Up
iSmashPhone —
Let's face it: once an app lands on your iPhone, there's not a lot you can do with its on-screen (icon) appearance. Add, delete, move, categorize -- that's just about it. But not for long? As the above video shows, iTunes itself may soon have some powerful screen/icon-arranging tools. Move one or more icons from screen to screen. Change how the apps are sorted -- and even lock the positions of apps you don't want moved. We need this, like now. Truly one of those "why the F didn't they think of this SOONER?!?" moments. [Thanks for the tip Mike] ...
Found Footage: iTunes-based App management concept
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
Filed under: Found Footage, iPhone, App Store, iPod touch One of my biggest annoyances with my iPhone involves the difficulty of managing my applications. Springboard, the iPhone application that actually displays the different pages of apps, clearly wasn't designed with the intention of managing so many apps. I've long thought, like with other aspects of organizing content on the iPhone, that app management should be possible in iTunes. Apparently I'm not alone, because this video by svdomer9 shows a nice mockup of how such an iTunes-based app management ...
iPhone 3.0 feature predictions: TUAW report card

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, OS, Software, iPhone, SDK, iPod touchAs is our wont, we predicated today's iPhone press event with our own predictions and wishes for what would be released. Let's look back and see how we did. Copy and paste As the event wore on, and everything but copy and paste was being announced, I started to worry. "Someday," I thought, "This event will be known as The Great Copy And Paste Debacle." The attending geek corps were about to slip into Angry Mob Mode, replacing their laptops with torches and pitchforks, when Scott ...
iTunes 9: Blu-ray And App Organization And Twitter, Oh My?
TechCrunch —
This is completely a rumor, but an awesome one. Citing a “pretty reliable” source, Boy Genius Report is saying that the next version of iTunes will add a bunch of new, highly requested features. Specificially, BGR’s source says iTunes 9 features Blu-ray support, a new way to organize iPhone apps within iTunes, as well some kind of integration with Twitter, Facebook and possibly Last.fm.
Each of those features have been talked about for some time now on the web. But as BGR notes, the talk of Blu-ray does line itself up well with an AppleInsider report from yesterday that very vaguely suggested Apple has new iMacs due ...
iTunes 9 to Add iPhone App Organizer, Blu-Ray?
The iPhone Blog —
BGR reports a source saying Apple is readying iTunes 9, which will include support for visually organizing apps on the iPhone, and for playing back Blu-Ray media.
iPhone 1.1.3 introduced the ability to add icons (limited to WebClips at the time, expanded to native apps with iPhone 2.0), and to move them around by tapping and holding until they began to jiggle. While this works well enough for a few icons once and a while, it makes totally re-arranging the 11 home screens made available in iPhone 3.0 a tad laborious. Suggestions for, even concept videos of, ...
New Features in iTunes 9: Ability to Organize iPhone apps; Blu-ray Support & Social Media Integration
The iPhone User Guide —
Boy Genius Report has just reported that they have received a tip from a “reliable source” that the new version of iTunes 9 will include some exciting new features.
They claim that the new version of iTunes could include Blu-ray support, give users the ability to visually organize and arrange iPhone apps within iTunes and some kind of integration with social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and possibly Last.fm.
The Blu-ray support in iTunes 9 seems to be in line with another rumor we have heard about Apple integrating blu-ray in next generation iMacs.
