Get Started with Mac OS X Lion: Launchpad
If you use an iPad or iPhone then you will be familiar with the way in which the Launchpad – an important new element of Mac OS X Lion – affords control over apps on your computer.
Just as an iPad will display a view of all your applications as icons, so the Launchpad echoes the iPad home screen and allows you to create folders by dragging icons together and discard them when necessary.
The Launchpad is, of course, just one of the great new user interface enhancements that have been introduced with Mac OS X Lion. Coupled with the Mission Control tool and a focus on making the most out of the desktop space with full screen apps, the Launchpad is a very useful aspect of the new Mac OS X.
