I’ve heard that it is possible, by updating the software on your iPod Touch to 4.0, to organize apps into folders or “categories” or “groups”. I updated the software, but at first I still didn’t know how to create these “groups”. I searched around on the web by googling, and everyone says you need to jailbreak in order to do it. Well, maybe these blogs are talking about another kind of folder, because I have just discovered how to do it 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 need 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 moving it toward the left or right edges, to the previous or next page.
IN SUMMARY:
1. Activate edit mode by pressing and holding any icon until the icons start 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 suggested label; you can edit it as you like. Basically, a section appears inside 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 browsing the rest of the page by tapping 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.
