“iPhone 3.0 Update: 10 Hidden Features”

In the 3.0 software update, you can now install an unlimited number of application. [Any] apps installed above the 176 that could fit on these pages will not be visible. However, these invisible apps can be accessed via Spotlight.

That’s what I assumed. (Not sure whether they tested it, or just assumed as well, though.)

Because of multiple functionalities for the Home button, this key will no longer force quit unresponsive apps like it did in 2.X software. To force quit an application in 3.0, you have to hold the sleep/wake button at the top until the red power off slider appears. Then you have to hold down the home button to quit the unresponsive application.

That’s just not right. You don’t change such essential controls, making them twice as complicated and three times slower. Especially considering that holding the Home button does nothing at all on anything but a 3G S.
