A collection of iPhone home screens from your favorite Apple celebrities

With over 75,000 applications to choose from, it's no secret that every iPhone or iPod touch user has a different set of "favorites". A new website, First & 20, is shedding some light on the mystery of home screens starting with some popular website designers, developers, and writers you may have heard of.

The website's concept is pretty simple - get a glimpse of the home screens of popular Apple or online notables such as Joe Hewitt, John Gruber, or Jason Snell. The creator hopes that the website will help you "see something you've never heard of" and discover some apps that are so good that they made it on the phones of top developers, writers, engineers, and bloggers in the Apple world. The reason behind just featuring the home screen is also simple. While many people may have the same applications, the question is "how many love it enough to have it on their home screen, one of their first twenty apps."

In my experience, the website has opened me up to a few new applications and even some new ways to organize them. Leave a comment if you find someone's home screen to be of particular interest to you.

Most people think this article was pointless to post. I personally like it to see what other people's home screens are. I would agree that most of the people's aren't that exciting. I did like Jason Snell's home screen as he left the last row blank. He mentioned that he tries to do that for most of the screens. I have taken this from him as it seems easier on the eyes and doesn't seem as cluttered. I took some insight from his "hot apps" if you want to call them that. Phone, iCal, Tweetie, iPod.

No jailbroken ones, eh? Those with Winterboard show off the shine nicely. Here is one of mine from a while ago, but I have the same theme: http://tinyurl.com/kjff2o and http://tinyurl.com/AriaiPhoneTheme

I'd like to see some homescreens from jailbroken celeb's phones...

Why is it so surprising to some of you folks that people have certain things in their dock or on their home screens? Everyone uses it differently - that's kind of the point.

My Home Screen is a mix of default and other apps
Calendar, Clock, Nightstand and Snapture
Settings, Contacts, WeatherPro and Photos
Maps, Evernote, OmniFocus and Spotify
Safari, iPod, iTunes and App Store
Phone, Mail, Remote and Messages

I would like to be able to get rid of the defaults and would really like to flick up and down for settings and/or profiles

All I want for my iPhone screen(s) is the ability to hide the default apps I don't use. (I'm looking at YOU, Stocks)

I don't know what's more pathetic, this article or the fact I replied to it.
