SpringBoard
SpringBoard
SpringBoard is the standard application that manages the iPhone OS home screen. As of iPhone OS 1.1.3, SpringBoard looks for applications in the /Applications directory of the iPhone’s filesystem.
Jailbroken devices
When an iPhone or iPod Touch has been jailbroken, the SpringBoard is patched and is ready to display third-party applications. In 1.1.3, 1.1.4, no patching is required and the apps directly load from the SpringBoard.
1.1.3/1.1.4
In 2008, with Apple’s release of 1.1.3 and the January App Pack, the SpringBoard went through some changes. Holding a finger on any application for a few seconds causes all of the icons to wiggle. From this view, you can rearrange your icons, delete WebApps and WebClips, and multiple pages can be created by dragging an application to the side of the screen. If the home button is pressed the icons will stop wiggling and apps can be opened again. [1]
