Organise Your iPhone and iPod Touch Apps into Folders

iphone-folder-iconsNo I know what most of you are thinking, why the hell isn’t this an iPhone app or why hasn’t Apple done this already, well they should have! The Next Web is reporting on a new app that is really going to help.

It’s an awesome app in Cydia called “Categories” which lets you organise your apps into folders. The app provides an array of different icons you can use, you can easily rename folders via the app and adding/removing apps is relatively easy. However, this is not available in the app store and you need to have your iPhone jailbroken.

Currently, on my iPod touch I have over 5 pages worth of applications that I use on a monthly basis. At the moment I’m having so much trouble keep track of the apps and actually arranging them so they can be easily used and organised. Apple needs to come up with an app like this, either that or they need to be able to arrange your apps directly in iTunes.

One limitation: the app doesn’t recognise iPhone web apps only genuinely local apps.

As I noted above, this is only for Jailbroken iPhones. Other features which Cydia (jailbroken app database) brings is copy & paste, 5 apps in the dock amongst hundreds of others.

Digg Announces Facelift

Digg’s Kevin Rose has announced plans for a Digg facelift this week.

The change comes in the form of a home page that can be viewed in three forms: just news, just videos, and both at once.

The new home page will “pave the way” for Digg to start cataloging images, which will be rolled out around October.

Digg also plans to overhaul the comments section so it’s “easier and more lightweight.”
