Icon Rearranging Depicted In '07 Apple Patent

Edward Kirk · January 2nd, 2008, 06:41 PM

In case some of you missed it, there was some evidence of the ability to rearrange applications on the iPhone's home screen in the form of a patent application filed by Apple back in '07, which I noted in my article. Well, it seems that hrmpf.com thought the same thing, and has stumbled on an interesting find.

Hrmph noticed that in the diagrams in the application, the icons were oddly askew. He took all of the images in the application and put them into an animation, and it turns out that they depict the new feature from GearLive's video almost perfectly, even down to the wobble. They also show an alternative means where the icon circles around instead.

You can compare the two side by side at hrmpf.com.
