Somewhen since I last paid attention to it, they made a change to the iPad OS, so that I can have more apps installed than are visible on the ~9 pages they give you. It is a little disconcerting during downloads/updates, since you can’t see any indication of progress, only the spinning network activity indicator lets you know things are happening, somewhere, deep where you can’t see. But once the spinner stops, assuming you remember the name of the app, you can search your iPad for it, and launch it from the search results page.
Now I just need an app to remind me what the name of that app I just downloaded is. I think I’ll call it “Dave’s not here, man!” =p
