iPhone iOS 6 UI Enhancement Request

In the spirit of my previous enhancement request [confusion.cc] (completely ignored I might add) I would like to make a request to Apple for a new UI enhancement to be released in the upcoming iPhone OS 6.0 update.

See, here’s the thing. I love folders on my iPhone (and iPad)… I like to keep my applications organized. But folders have a severe limit on the number of items I have in the folder. I have for instance six folders of games. I have tried to overcome this by sub-categorizing the games. But this is awkward. I would prefer to put more then 12 items in the folder, and I don’t think it would be that difficult. I think that the folder should be divided into pages like the iPhone home screen. And I should be able to put as many items as I want in the folder, it would then display them 12 at a time an I could scroll right or left to see other pages.

Obsessions

My daughter’s current obsessions are “Draw Something”, “Cut the Rope” and “Monster Shooter the Lost Levels”. My daughter is about to turn 4, a true digital native. At least “Draw Something” kind of teaches the alphabet when my wife spells the word and my daughter taps on the letters.

Lytro

Lytro’s site was taken offline after their consumer business was shut down. So now you can’t see the photos, :-(. Remember if it’s on someone else computer (in other words any “cloud”) you don’t really own it.

Gots me a Lytro [lytro.com]. Pre-ordered it last year but it’s been sitting at my mom’s house due to US only shipping policies since February. Finally got here last week. Sweet!

Squeeze…

[T]he testicles are exquisitely sensitive to touch and there is a huge release of adrenalin when there is excessive force applied to these organs. … A heart attack could certainly result from severe testicular pain from squeezing.
