New iPhone and iPad Software Will Have Folders

One of the seven major new features announced today for the upcoming version of the iPhone operating system was the ability to organize home screen icons into folders, something many iPhone users have ardently wished for in the past.

At a press conference to announce new features in iPhone OS 4.0 today, Apple CEO Steve Jobs talked about how many users were tired of flipping through page after page of icons on their home screen to find the app they wanted. Apple wanted to find a solution for that kind of icon clutter.

"Folders fit the bill," Jobs said.
