Arrange Icons on the iPhone/iPod touch Home Screens

Unhappy with the arrangement of your icons? You can move them around as follows: First, hold down on any Home screen icon until all the icons wiggle. Now, drag the icons to their desired locations (drag left or right to get to other screens). Finally, press the physical Home button on your device. (Unlike earlier releases, iPhone Software 2.1 doesn't move just-updated apps to the end of your Home screens, so your icons should be more stationary once you've installed the update.)

Remember that you can replace Apple's default icons in the four persistent spots at the bottom of the screen with your four most-used apps!

TweetDeck 0.31.3

Send Article to a Friend

Iain Dodsworth has released the latest version of his Adobe AIR-based Twitter client, TweetDeck. Changes include a revised notification system with a new pop-up preview window, support for keyboard shortcuts, an added Followers column, and the capability to set notification preferences per column. Also, several issues have been addressed, including a bug that caused the spell checker to be unavailable for some users, a bug that prevented certain URLs from being automatically shortened, and a bug that prevented users from entering messages longer than 140 characters (messages must then be edited to no more than 140 characters). A full list of changes is available on Dodsworth's Web site. (Free, 2 MB)

Why would anyone use something written in Adobe Air?

Because none of the Cocoa-based Twitter clients I've seen offer groups (that work), which are utterly key to how I use Twitter.
