The iPad has the same number of app screens as the 3GS iPhone. However each screen holds an additional 4 apps. So with 800 bucks spent I can hold about 44 more apps. You can stuff a few extra apps on the non-scroll bottom line but that still misses a total of fifty more apps. So let's talk round numbers and we now have a max of 200 or so apps. Please open this up to hold apps already.
You can put hundreds of apps on the iPhone. I filled up 9 GB on a 16 GB 3GS with them so far. I am sure you can put thousands on a 64 GB iPad. The problem is you can only see icons for a couple of hundred. How do you remember the names of the rest? I opened the Apps section in iTunes and choose a variety of print options to make myself lists of the apps I could access. I printed them to PDFs and transferred the PDFs to the iPhone. Then when I need to remember exactly what I can access I pull that up and skim through it to find the app names I want. Entering the first few letters of the app pops it up in search and then I tap on its icon to launch it. What will be nice is the upcoming expose update to the iPad that will allow me to switch back and forth among a set of running apps that i found this way if they are all being used in a project. BTW iTunes now lists your apps grouped according to the devices they will run on. If an app in the app store is a universal app there will be two buttons to select the group of images for either iPhone or iPad in the review section.
For my iPhone I made a web site with hot links to all my apps but that was just too much work. Apple, I nave now spent more money supporting your business efforts, listen to the voices that tell you we need more access to the apps we own.
Gary i think the limitation is on the number of pages you can see not in the number off app you can download , i have try with my 3Gs and i can download all i want (of course limited by the memory size) for the one you didn't see you can find it by the search function .... please give me you're comment
