And why use this feature at all? For example, if you use iPhone for work and play, you can have different sets of applications and simply hide the ones you don't need. Or you want to keep your main desktop clean, miniminimalistic – with just a calendar, notes and weather? No problem. The rest of the apps won't burden you, but will be immediately available when you reach for them.
