I’ve got an iPhone, and I clean it regularly, but let’s see if it’s unnecessarily cluttered. Without further ado and without cleaning it first, I’m going to post a screenshot of each of my 3 home pages and tell you how many programs I actually don’t use. Feel free to make fun of me, but don’t get upset when I become quite snarky about it.

Productivity Apps

As you can see, my first page is fairly uncluttered, except I have two Twitter apps and primarily use TwitterFon over Twinkle, rarely use Say Who (voice dialer) and more often blog from my computer than my iPhone. And I rarely use Zenbe, but I keep it there as a reminder that I need to transfer my to-dos there.

I never use Jott. Ever. Remote is a rare thing, but I use it from the front porch to control my iTunes library when it’s inside. Useful, that. App store I use for app acquisition and updates, never use iTunes, rarely use Notes and YouTube. I use GTLogin all the time - automatically logs me into Georgia Tech’s WiFi. Palringo? Chat, it’s awesome. Bible so I never have to carry one around. Shazam identifies songs (and is useless, I never need that), Simplify Media lets me stream other people’s libraries, and BrightKite is Twitter with location data, utterly useless cause nobody uses it (seems cool though, let me know if you want an invite). On to the third screen.

Games and Such

This has YET ANOTHER a twitter client (TwitPic enabled), and games. Yes, I lightsaber duel sometimes. Everyone else who has an iPhone has it, even if they lie about it. Stocks is here for amusement as the market plummets. SportsTap is the way to go for a sports application, AirSharing is a program Nathan installed that I’ve yet to figure out how to use, but it costs money now in the App store and you won’t find me deleting something that I could have for free. Zippo is… a bic lighter. Naw, it’s a zippo. Fring / iCall / GrandDialer are for VOIP stuff that I never use, and Word Warp is a great time waster if you’re ever on the toilet looking for something to spend time doing.

There you have it. Does it make me more productive? Maybe. Do I feel more productive with it? Yes.

Make fun of me for it, I’d love to bite your head off, in a gentle way.
