8 Pages of Apps – What & Why
To fix my battery issue with the iPhone, Apple did a complete software restore. When I synced the next time, I had 8 pages of apps. @_@ Yikes! Apparently iTunes syncs all of the apps I ever downloaded.
Some asked me what could those possibly be, so here they are along with a short description of what I use them for. My favorites are in bold.
