[C w C Sharing] The Ways I use my iPhone After upgrading to iOS4- "folder within folder"; 我的iphone應用- "夾中夾"

    My iPhone 3GS' applications have become more organized and easier to find since I upgraded it to iOS4 on June 22nd.  Besides multitasking, one of most powerful functions I am highly satisfied is Folders, which users can manage their varied applications into more organized ways based on their own preferences.  Due to the powerfulness of this function, my iPhone, now, has 23 folders taking only 2 pages, comparing to11 pages in the past (flip to crazy ><). Now, I can easily find the application I need and know what other applications I still require.

Here, Adaaw wants to share the ways I organize my applications and how this function changes the speed of using my iPhone.

    As you can see the bellow figure. There are four rows with four applications in each row in my first page. This method ...uh... let's call " folder within folder" . Each application in each row has its reason to be classified together.

    The ideas behind each row are shown in the following figure. The first row contains outdoor-related applications including Data & Time, Location, Travel and Cam. The second row includes Table-related Applications, like Music, TV, Note, and Study, which always be used when I sit on the chair. The third row is called Leisure-related applications including Photography, Social, Store, Games. Last but not least, the Information-related applications row include applications that can help me get information, like Remote, Internet, Tech News and Information. 

It's about time to introduce A-Re Cool to comment on this blog. 

Good : The first  thing I highly recommend about this method of classification is "Simplicity " which is always the core idea of Apple inc - only three pages with logical and easy to remember classification. Second is "'Easy to find". Now, I can quickly find the application I need. If I think about going outside, say, eating lunch, I will directly search for the first row. When I want to get information by surfing websites, the four row will be my option. The finial one is "See every application used often in one page". Apparently, all of applications that you use very frequently will be putted in the first page. Thus, see all and easy find. 

Bad: Of course, the method of folder within folder has some deficients. First,  sometimes, the same application can be classified into two different folders. For example, Remote, an application that can be used to remotely control iTune within the same wifi area, is classified into Music Folder(the second row); however, it also can be categorized into Remote folder(the fourth row). In this situation, users should have to think which folder that the application really belongs to. However, this weakness can be overcame by keeping using it. Second, each folder only can contain 12 applications. If I have to add more than 12 applications, no way. So, this is the reason that I have two same folder called Game1 & Game2 and News and Tech News. But, I believe that the advantages outweigh disadvantages. 

    The next page of my iPhone has 7 folders which I used rarely including Productivity, Game2, Buy&Tool, Storage, Blog, Personal, News, TW News and Reference, but I don't want to discuss about them. The 3rd page has only one application in my iPhone. I do it by purpose because I can see the background picture without any hinder . See the figure bellow. I like this way since I can see the picture I like, which makes me relaxed. By the way, this picture was taken in Kenting, Taiwan by my iPhone. 

  

                                

====================================================

自從iOS 4釋出後，個人覺得許多功能都相當不錯！其中，除了多工很讚之外，個人最喜歡的就是資料夾的功能，因為它讓我的Apps分類變得很有組織，很方便去尋找，真的是受惠良多。在昇級之前，原本Apps總共有11個頁面，但是昇級完後，頁面只剩3面(嚴格來說是2頁，第3頁是有目的的，原因詳見本文章的最後)。

接下來就請阿抖來就C w C的資料夾組織方式做介紹吧！只呈現第一個頁面，因為這些都是最主要的資料夾，另一頁就不多談了！因為都不常用。

OK，來看下面的圖，有四列，共計16個資料夾。而每一列都有它被分類在自己的理由，姑且就稱為"夾中夾" (聽起來像是一種整人懲罰)。

"夾中夾"

每列被分類的理由如下圖所示，第1列(左上)為外出列。外出需要想到什麼呢？時間、地點、照像機、以及旅遊吧！是的，第一列就是包括這幾個資料夾。第2列(右上)為坐在桌前會用到的桌子列，像是音樂、電視、筆記以及學習。第3列(左下)為休閒列，包括圖片、社交、App Store以及遊戲。第4列(右下)為資訊列，包含網路、遠端、新聞以及資訊。可能有些網友會認為音樂和電視應該被歸類為休閒類，但這分類只是我的習慣而已。

接下來就由阿雷酷來針對本文做劣優的評論吧！

推:這個資料夾的應用方式有許多值得推的地方，第1個為"簡單"，這也是蘋果公司的精神所在。從以為的11個頁面，現在3個頁面(嚴格來說是2個頁面)，超精簡！！！第2個為"搜尋快速"，由於是有邏輯性的分類，所以頭腦幾乎不用動到就可以找到了！超快！最後值得稱讚的是，"一目瞭然"。個人主要使用的Apps都在同一個分類且同一個頁面後，很快的就都可以看到您所有的apps！

劣:當然，"夾中夾"使用法還是有點缺點，第一個就是同一個Apps可以被分類在兩個或多個不個同的資料夾裡，例如：Remote是專門用在遠端控制iTune上的，這個Apps被分類在Music資料夾裡(第二列)，但實事上，這也可以被用在Remote資料夾(第四列)裡。這種情形容易造成混淆，搜尋上會出差錯。第二個為…每個資料夾就只能包括12個apps，結果會導致擠不下的情，像是這個iPhone裡其實ＧＬ兩個Game，兩個News…只是第二個資料夾都是放比較不常用的。雖然有這兩個問題，但其實影響不大 …

    最後呢…第三個頁面只有一個app，為何呢？因為可以當作數位相框，或許有人會說…用Camera roll就好啦！但是好處是，手只要揮一揮就可以回到第一頁面了，很快很方便！(個人很愛)附帶一提，這張照片是在墾丁用我的iPhone拍的。
