The home for apps and folders.
The Home screen is where you’ll find all your apps and folders. You can have up to 11 Home screens and browse them with a flick. To launch an app or open a folder, just tap it. And even if you’re in the middle of playing a game, you can get to any app easily by pressing the Home button. Press it once to go back to the last Home screen you were on. Press it again to return to your main Home screen.
Folders. Clear out the clutter.
Thanks to the App Store, you can choose from over 200,000 apps and games. But these apps can fill your Home screens pretty quickly. That’s where the new Folders feature comes in. It gives you an easy way to keep your apps organized and declutter your Home screens. And you can launch your favorite apps with a couple of taps.
Customize your Home screen. It’s all about you.
Arrange the icons on your Home screen any way you want right on iPod touch or from your computer using iTunes. Move apps around, group them into a folder, or add them to another Home screen for quick access to the games and applications you download from the App Store and to your Safari web clips.
Double-click for multitasking.
When you double-click the Home button, the multitasking user interface pops up, giving you quick, one-tap access to your recently used apps. When you switch to a new one, the app can pick up right where you left off.
Search across your iPod touch.
Looking for something? Search the entire contents of your iPod touch, all from one place. On your main Home screen, just swipe to the right to bring up Search. Type what you want to find, and Search begins looking through all of your apps, music, videos, contacts, email, calendars, notes, and even your audiobooks and podcasts.
Add apps and web clips.
Whenever you download an application from the App Store, a new icon appears on your Home screen. And if you check the same websites every day, just create web clips. They appear on your Home screen, and you can access the sites directly with a single tap.
Home button. Always find your way home.
No matter where you are on iPod touch, one press of the Home button at the bottom of iPod touch takes you to the main Home screen. You can also take a shortcut from any Home screen back to your main Home screen by pressing the Home button.
