How it happens:

1. Have 12 pages of apps, 2 spaces available on a page and 1 space on the bottom bar.

2. Install an new app.

3. On completion of the install, the iPhone also fills the other spaces, putting the iPod icon on the bottom bar and the first 'invisible' app installed starting from 1 then through A-Z thus 1Password gets the honour.

Result: The iPod icon jiggles with all other icons static and the 1Password icon has an active 'Delete' cross.

1. In the Camera Roll: tap the Forwarding button
2. Tap to on the photos to select then tap Copy
3. In Mail: Tap and hold down in the message area of the email. When the Magnifier Lens appears, release and tap Paste.

You can send upto 5 photos using the Share button but for more than 5, use copy and paste. An advantage of copy and paste is that this method will send the original sized image and avoid the photo resizing problem.

I described how to send just one original size photo on this post:

After installing an app the screen flashed, the iPod icon appeared on the bottom menu bar (I usually just keep 3 apps on it) and it alone started jiggling but without a cross on its top left. I thought that I had lost all my apps but a twelfth page had appeared.
 
I didn't want the app to disappear into nowhere land so when I moved the one app off the page and the page vanished.

Update: The twelfth page appeared again. This time I moved apps into the empty-bar-one-app page that I didn't mind if they became invisibles. Then I moved the the app I want as an icon to a 'safe' page. Then I Synced. Result - the twelfth page became populated with previously invisible app icons. When iTunes re-populates a page, it starts with app with number names e.g. 1Password, then A through Z.

I wish I could choose which app icon showed on my iPhone and which are invisible. I can make new app visible by 'pushing' an app off the very last visible page then buying a new app and the new app will fill the vacated space. What I cannot do yet is make a space then fill it with an app whose name starts with a letter higher than 'C' of apps that I already have.

Update iPhone OS 3.1.2: It has happened again with OS 3 as I show here:

If you change the password on the website, the iPhone app stops syncing. Then when you change the password on the iPhone, all the notes on the iPhone are deleted before copying the notes from the web onto the iPhone app. This means that if you have been entering notes via the web and the iPhone you will lose the iPhone-only notes unless you email them out -- one note at a time -- all the iPhone notes (unless you can work out which ones are only on the iPhone). This is a serious flaw and cost me days worths of notes as I only realised what happened in hindsight.

Tip of the Day - Don't use Emoji in the Title of a Tape. It crashes the app.

Update: 17-Sep-09. Version 1.0.9.3 partially fixes this problem. Partially because you can name a tape with emoji in the title; press record and it appears that you are recording but when you press Stop you cannot Play the 'recorded' tape nor is the emoji titled Tape added to the Tape Collection. Ideally, if you include emoji in the title before recording, you should not be able to record and get a warning as to why.
