Launcher tab categories?

[bignoseduglyguy]

How do you catergorise your applications and launchers tabs? By function? By similarity? I ask because, ever since LIII, I've been trying to sort them into more meaningful groups and so I'm interested to get others input.

Currently, I have the following tabs:

Key (main PIM, mail, web & frequently used apps)
Docs (Doc readers and writing apps)
Data (DB apps and calculators/converters
MM (Multi/media)
BT (Bluetooth/related apps)
Sys (Backup, battery, prefs and Hotsync)
Util (File managers, font, screenshot & icon apps)
Fun (Games)
X (Hidden tab with unused built-ins and lo-res versions)

However, many apps are crossovers; for instance:
YAPS could be in Key as a frequent app but also in Data as it is a DB.

Don't get me wrong, this doesn't keep me up nights - I'm just curious.

Mine are similar, except that
- I lump Db reader, Doc reader, Calculator etc apps in the same folder. I associate those in my mind as "reading-writing" kinda stuff
- I have a "Travel" tab for dictionaries, guides, language maps etc
- I have a tap for "Organizing" which holds address, datebook, memo, to-do, expense, checkbook aps
- I have a "Communications" tab for SMS, BlueCHat, Web Browser,telephone, Dialer, WAP apps

This is what the P in PDA means. Your categories can be anything you choose!

I'm sure he knows that!! I think he's just looking for ideas to bounce off that might be useful. You never knoe if someone has a different conceptulaization or ognaization system that might be useful to you.

I find the following catagories useful..

BARBIE - programs that look nice but are fairly useless.

BOO! - programs that can unexpectedly crash.

INDECISION - programs that can go into more than one catagory. Come to think about it, should they be in this catagory at all?

GRAVEYARD -programs that you haven't paid for and will soon expire.

SAD "M" - hidden programs that have recently been unearthed

HAPPY - expensive programs you purchased after one too many glasses of wine.
