It’s hard to stand out among headlining iPhone 2.2 OS features like Google Maps Street View and a refreshed, more stable iPhone Safari. But that doesn’t mean the new iPhone 2.2 OS’s homescreen shortcut feature isn’t terrific in its own right. What is the iPhone “homescreen shortcut,” you ask?
The countless free iPhone applications in the iPhone App Store make it too easy to accumulate five, six, even seven homescreen pages. Which is great and all, but multiple homescreen pages can be hard to navigate – especially when all you want to do is get to back to your home-base homescreen. That’s where the homescreen shortcut comes in.
It’s simple. From any homescreen page, hit the “Home” button to jump back to the primrary homescreen. The new homescreen shortcut is so simple it’s easy to overlook it.
With the iPhone 2.2 OS’s homescreen shortcut, never again will iPhone users have to flick away at their iPhone’s touchscreen several times just to get back “home.”
How do you enable the new shortcut feature? Just update your iPhone or iPhone 3G through iTunes. (Unless you’re waiting for the iPhone Dev Team’s iPhone 2.2 OS jailbreak solution…)
