I let my home screens, all 8 or so of them, get messy. I am way too lazy to move my iPhone icons around until they are perfect. The way you do it on the iPhone is good for one or two changes, but not for mass app movement.
So, a feature request for Apple would be to be able to organize your iPhone apps on your desktop. Probably part of iTunes or something.
You load up iTunes, click on your iPhone, then click on "Organize" or something like that. Then you are shown all your home screens on one screen. You can then move each app from one location to a different location, all via your mouse.
That would seriously speed things up for me.
I doubt it is on the top of Apple's todo list and I honestly should submit it as a request, but maybe if others agree, we can all submit this as a request to apple.

Great idea, I submitted what you wrote as my wish request. Hope you no mind. Would be a great idea if was implemented.

Soooooo Need this. . was thinking the same thing after i downloaded 60+ apps. . get the requests in!
by the way, I think it would be good to actually have folders icons on the desktop for games, productivity, media etc. . would be good to have this option as well,

Yeah, we need this.. the best way I have found.. ( credit modmyi.com)
Add Five Icon Dock from Cydia... use the 5th slot to use as a holding place since the dock is static on all screens.. this made my icon moving experience less than a half hr instead of an hr to 2 hrs.. just moving icons..
