Is there any trick to how the apps appear on the ipad? When I first loaded them, they were in alphabetical order, which I guess is okay. But as I add new ones, the computer just tacks them on the end. I know I can manually move each one, but I don't want to go there since I have over 130. Is there a way I can sort by category, for example?

You can press on the icons until they start to squirm. Once that happens, you can press and drag the icons to whatever page or location you want.

Not as of yet, iPhone 4 os will add folders and will be a welcome site for me.

PS Hit home to end. You can rearrange to a limited degree, as it will maintain a fill order on each page.

I'm really surprised that they also didn't add a way to filter apps within iTunes. For instance when I first got my iPad 3G and synced it for the first time, under the apps tab (I had prepurchased a bunch of apps), there was no way to filter out and just show me iPad HD apps. ***? I have over 300 iPhone apps and it took forever. I now find it easier to just dload and manage my apps on the device itself. I cant wait for 4.0 and app folders...most of my apps dont get used because I cant get to a certain type when I need it.

Does anyone know if under app folders if you will be able to put the same app in multiple folders? Almost like a shortcut? Because I can see having a "Daily" folder for the things I access ALL the time, then having categories for "TV", "Kids", "Productivity", etc...

Once connected to your computer, open iTunes and select your iPad. Then select the Apps tab.

Then you can drag and move and delete one at a time or by multi selection. What I normally do is make the first page my HOT HOT apps. 2nd page is reference / communication. 2rd tab is games. 4th tab is general applications. 5th tab is utilities.

When you're done organizing - hit sync.

I just figured out how to put the apps in alphabetical order in just a few steps woot!!

On your iPad go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout ....tadah!

This discovery has made my slightly OCD self very happy lol!

Hey IPAD4ME: I appreciate the tip on resetting the icons in the home page. Cheers

if you jailbreak it, then you get the Cydia app "Categories" which gives you folders.
Very similar to the folders from OS4.0

Make sure you keep checking to make sure they stay in alphabetical order.
