Just because there are apps doesn't mean you have to download them all. I made a point of removing all apps I hadn't used daily when I wiped it clean for iOS 5. I then installed the apps that were previously on my homescreen. Beyond that, I only installed the apps when I needed to use them. This meant that apps I'd never use again were never reinstalled. I have a folder of 4-5 games, a couple social networking/communication apps (facebook, google voice, and twitteriffic) in their own folder. A utilities folder for things like Dropbox and other similar apps. The total screen space? Not even two screens thanks to the folders.

For the most part, i never go beyond the first page. But the apps on page two are useful and i use them maybe once a week.

Again, just because you have a billion apps at your disposal doesn't mean you have to have them all installed. Remove them for christs sake or quit your bitching.
