iPhone Basics: Jump To Your First Home Screen With the Home Button

In the latest iPhone software update (v2.2), Apple added a new shortcut to the Home button. Pressing the Home button from any Home screen will now bring you right back to your first home screen. This shortcut is great for those of you who just can't stop downloading apps.

For this one to work, you must already be at the Home screen.

I like it. I have like three pages of extra apps and sometimes I just want to go to the original home screen so it's nice to press the button instead of using your finger. It's cool, Im happy =)

Wonderful find

I was looking for tips and tricks to use with my wife's new iPhone and ran across this website. I dig the layout and navigation buttons. It has been a great find, bookmarked and filled with information for those who need it.

moving through app pages

I stumbled accross this myself but maybe some others know about it. Anyway you can move your pages left or right just bu tapping on the dots at the bottom representing your pages. Slightly less thumb movement than sliding across the screen and yes you sometimes accidentally open something on the bottom.

Great Start

Having the home button bring you back to the original screen was a great idea. But they only got half way. What they should have it also do is, when its on the original screen have the home button bring you all the way to the last screen. So people like me with 7 or 8 pages dont have to scroll all the way through
