In reply to iphone repairs. That'd be Gmail Push, but i modded the icon to be the one for the Gmail web app.

In reply to sysrage. On the P.S. portion - I wasn't aware of this issue until yesterday afternoon when a reader mentioned it to me on Twitter. I deleted / refreshed our site's cache at that point and it appeared to be resolved. This morning I cannot recreate the issue on my MacBook in Safari or Chrome, but I am seeing in Mobile Safari that the mobile theme cannot be turned off. I'm talking to the plugin creators to see if this is a known issue / what fixes are available or coming soon. Sorry for the hassle this is causing.

Nice theme in that screen shot. Any chance of knowing which one is it?

Last page is the limbo page for me as well. Since each of my 5 screens is relatively filled up and pretty structured, everything new, temporary (i.e. the TurboTax Taxcaster app), or on its way out goes there. I also put webpage bookmarks there.

However, another reason for this is also that i use Glass Orb Color and I like all my icons to be skinned. This keeps new programs which dont usually have skinned icons yet off to the side until I get around to assigning them an icon in iFile.

I’m surprised so many people use the last screen for new apps that they don’t have placement for yet. It seems like that method would make it take longer to decide what to do with the app. Personally, I keep the bottom row of my 2nd page reserved for new apps. They go there until I decide what to do with them. That way, they are easily accessible and it almost forces me to place them or get rid of them since they are more upfront.

Like Jay, my last page is reserved for my son, but he tends to navigate all over the place anyway. 🙂

I am experiencing the same behavior that sysrage mentioned. My page is the mobile version. Also, quite often on my iPhone, the mobile version does not display comments and does not allow me to toggle to the non-mobile version.

I used to do what most of you said and put all the 'settings' apps and unused iPhone apps on the last screen. Now I have all the settings apps in a Stack and I hide the unused apps. Now my last screen is usually games or other apps I've downloaded but haven't yet given a try. Seems to be full most the time these days with all the sites like FreeAppADay.

P.S. Why does JAiPB randomly show me the mobile version of the site sometimes even when I'm on my computer? This article is the mobile version while the main page is 'normal'. I've seen the main page show up as mobile sometimes too.
