The usual suspects are there, but I rearranged them based on where I can put my finger the quickest. The camera icon, for example, is isolated at the top corner so that I can whip out the iPhone and take yet another adorable picture of my daughter without missing a beat. I have two weather forecasts, because you can never trust a single source. Twitter and Facebook are next to each other, since they go together like peanut butter and jelly. The WhatTheFont app is right up front for any on-the-go type identification needs. And at the end of the home screen is the addictive Labyrinth game, which I think is one of the best showcases of the iPhone’s ability to make simple games newly fun.
