Restoring Spring to iPhone Springboard

Tog has run out of space for his iPhone apps, so he’s made a concept design for an upgraded version of Springboard that could handle more apps and offer a greater amount of organization.

I don’t agree with his proposed design (way too fiddly and fussy), but as always with Tog, it’s an interesting read and a thoughtful proposal. And he’s addressing a genuine problem — even with the nice improvements in iPhone OS 3 and iTunes 9, dealing with dozens still seems ungraceful, to say the least.
