Application launchers always seem to do good business on smartphones and mobile devices, perhaps considering they tap both into users’ innate desire to customise and considering device makers themselves don’t do an particularly good job of organising programmes (yes, the iPhone is very easy to use when you’re sticking with the applications preloaded, but what about the handful of web-based apps you like?) So it’s no surprise to see a couple for the iPhone emerge, but which should you choose?

First up is MockDock, which when viewed on a normal computer
looks faintly ridiculous but should be ideally proportioned for you iPhone Safari users. While I don’t have an iPhone myself, you can use it on a desktop browser; it’s basically a page you bookmark (and likely produce as your homepage) with a gallery of finger-friendly icons to build a customised launch page from. There are quite a few programmes and shortcuts available already, but seemingly no way to add your own unless you newsletter them and ask for inclusion.
