The Steve Rubel Stream

You're not alone. But I am sure nobody beats you :-)

Oh My Goodness. I can only imagine how long it takes your phone to sync! :)

@Andy surprisingly fast now that I have a 3GS!

I got the fever too. Only I obsessively put apps on and take them off my phone as the mood hits. Kinda dumb.

Steve, you should do a longer post and just list all of them. My eyeballs arent good enough to see them.

I have 150ish in iTunes, sync about 120 of those. I prefer Birdfeed as well, haven't found a lot of people that do.

@steve why do you use writeroom and evernote? Seems to me they have similar functionality. Just wondering before i drop a dime on something that isnt necessary. . .

You only have 10 screens? If I could get an unlimited number of screens, I probably have 20. Seriously. :)

btw, if you're on a deserted island, Steve, you better hope they have a weather tower and meteorologists for WeatherBug to function properly!

Apps are like Animated GIFs used to be... something that I over-populated my screen real estate with until I started having seizures - so I cut back a bit.

Steve, thanks for sharing the screenshot. I got half the screens that you have, but what I find is I there is only a screen full of apps that I use regularly, everything else gets used once in a week or once or twice during their lifetime on my iPhone

Steve! One of these days you're going to blow a fuse in your brain! :)

@Mario I use Writeroom for writing articles - when I need to concentrate. I use Evernote for notes and reference.

I am right there with you, except I'm only up to eight screens. I'm usually anti-clutter ... but I can't resist trying a few more apps every week.

If you're satisfied with Birdfeed, what's the use of keeping the zillion other twitter apps?

Digital hoarding. Now that's a Dr. Phil episode I would watch.

@Camiel I use different Twitter apps in different contexts, but I agree.

Ohh my god, I couldn't imagine this number of apps! wholy crapp .. your iPhone is almost crying all the night !!

Yes.
You're just looking at another reason for AAA-AnyThing, AnyTime, AnyWhere- the Grail of Internet development. You "Communications pod" will morph into an AAA device and then...then...you may be happy!

Yikes. I thought I was bad with 8 pages! I have a non-tech coworker who got his iPhone when I got mine, several months ago, and he has yet to go off of one page.

The only problem you have is that you aren't using Five Column SpringBoard to have more apps on each page!

@Ben, I haven't jailbroken my baby,

steve - a blog post would be nice explaining how u use and manage to use these and how 65K is just to many and may effect innovation and crowding out :) nice job here :)

Steve- I noticed your still keeping Your iPhone 'home' page to Apple's spec. Gotta respect that.

Also, not ONE game in your desert island apps?? Our brains need play time as well (even yours).

I can help...I have 10 screens of 12 also..

Put Evernote on the bottom or on screen 1.
Complete lifesaver..

This is definitely a possible first. An online 12 step program. "I am an iPhone addict."

You are sooo not alone. I decided to do a short rundown of my apps some time ago. I ended up writing a piece on the 67 most essential ;)

The spotlight search is a lifesaver as an app launcer...

WOW. And that doesn't slow the iPhone down one bit huh? I really gotta get one.

I followed suit and re-arranged all my apps last night into alphabetical order. I had them somewhat grouped together, but I like this so much better!

It's Apple's problem; we need better app management tools :-)

I have 6 full screens and I've made a pact with myself that I can't add another app (especially a Twitter app) until I delete one I'm not using. Otherwise, I'm totally out of control - I'd easily put 10 screens to shame. My Flickr set of my iPhone screens: http://bit.ly/6RCaO

I see 3 spots still free!

I believe the iPhone lets you have 11 total screens/pages, which leaves you with 19 (16+3) more apps ;) BTW Steve, How about sharing a list of your favorite apps?

That is unreal Steve and I thought I was bad with 5 screens.

1 thing though I don't agree with the alphabetical listing idea. Tried it, didn't like it. Also I don't give a hoot what Apple think of me it's my phone not theirs. I wish you could delete apps such as stock, weather, contacts etc..... I arrange my home screen with the apps I use multiple times every day and then the other screens are arranged in usage order, like with like.

Evernote while I like the idea just loads too damn slow!

i think im so unique these days... :)
no tattoos, no iPod, no apps
