Apple! Leave the order of my Springboard alone! Stop rearranging icons and moving them to different pages whenever you have the tiniest excuse.
I have arranged my icons the way that I want them and the way that they are most useful to me, the user, the ipod buyer, the Apple customer-who-is-always-right.
I have my Springboard pages arranged in functional groups and sort of in the order of most frequently used. So something like "VNC" and "Insomnia" are on page one with the NYTimes, Washington Post and so on.
But if NYTimes or VNC or other App Store app gets updated then TPTB at Apple will install the update at what it thinks is the "next available" location in the Springboard order. They leave the old copy in place while they do this and then delete it when the update is done, but they, TPTB, leave the new one wherever it has fallen instead of moving it to the old location.
As a result, all the apps that came after the old version now "move up" a spot in the order and actually move from the place where I put them! WTF Apple?!?!
Here's the fix Apple heads: Find the old location (which we know you can do because you find it now to delete it) and then move the old version to the end spot and then install the new version in the old spot. Nobody moves; all is good!
At the end of the update you can either delete the old version from it's new, temporary spot or if the upgrade failed for some reason, you can move it back to its original location. This'll work and everyone will be happy.
Please.
Leave me alone Apple! Please leave something to me. Stop rearranging my 'Touch's desktop. I put the icons where I want them so they'll be convenient and helpful to me -- the user -- your customer. Leave my stuff alone. And while you're at it; stop messing with the order of my "favorites" in MSIE too. You keep putting them "in order(?)" during a sync, when really, the way that I had them was actually, and honest to Jobs, the way that I wanted them.
Back off.
