I heard around that it is possible, by updating the software of your iPod Touch to 4.0, to organize apps into folders or “categories” or “groups.” I updated the software, but at first I still did not know how to create these “groups.” I searched around the web by googling, and everyone says that you have to jailbreak it in order to do it. Well, perhaps these blogs are talking about another type of folder, because I have now discovered the way simply while I was organizing the apps. It is an extremely simple move! The reader will already know that to organize the apps on your iPod Touch you just have to press and hold one of them without releasing it until all the apps begin to “wobble” and an “x” appears in the upper-left corner of each app icon. By tapping the “x” with your finger you can remove an app from your iPod; otherwise you can drag the icon to move it elsewhere either on the same page or, by bringing it toward the left or right edges, to the previous or next page.
SUMMARY:
1. Activate edit mode by pressing and holding any icon until the icons begin to wobble and an “x” appears in the upper-left corner
2. Drag one icon on top of another and they will be grouped into a folder with a label already suggested; you can modify it as you like. Practically speaking, a section appears within the page and the rest of the page becomes transparent
3. Now you can simply drag an icon out of the section to remove it from the folder; you can go back to viewing the rest of the page by tapping with your finger anywhere on the page outside the section; you will then be able to drag other icons onto the folder to add them to the folder.
4. Exit edit mode by clicking the Home button at the bottom of the iPod.
