Arrange Icons on the iPhone/iPod touch Home Screens
Unhappy with the arrangement of your icons? You can move them around as follows: First, hold down on any Home screen icon until all the icons wiggle. Now, drag the icons to their desired locations (drag left or right to get to other screens). Finally, press the physical Home button on your device. (Unlike earlier releases, iPhone Software 2.1 doesn't move just-updated apps to the end of your Home screens, so your icons should be more stationary once you've installed the update.)
Remember that you can replace Apple's default icons in the four persistent spots at the bottom of the screen with your four most-used apps!

Macworld Expo Pocket Show Guide Changed
Macworld Expo Pocket Show Guide Changed -- Last week, in "Macworld NYC 2000 Events," I recommended that users of Palm OS-based handhelds download a copy of Palmtop Publishing's Macworld Expo Pocket Show Guide last week. Unfortunately, in the short time between when I downloaded the guide and when that article was published, Palmtop Publishing had to change the guide entirely; it's now the Macworld City Guide and features hotel, restaurant, museum, and shopping information. Details about Macworld Expo itself are limited to party schedules and events at the Mac Publishing booth; the useful exhibitor lists and session schedules are sadly no longer present. [ACE]
