A portable multifunction device identifies a plurality of user interface objects. If the user interface objects meet a first predefined condition, the device then displays at least two of the user interface objects on a touch screen display. If the user interface objects meet a second predefined condition, the device then divides the user interface objects into at least first and second groups of user interface objects and then displays a first group icon corresponding to the first group and at least one user interface object from the second group on the touch screen display. If the user interface objects meet a third predefined condition, the device divides the user interface objects into at least third and fourth groups of user interface objects. The device then displays a third group icon corresponding to the third group and a fourth group icon corresponding to the fourth group.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein the first predefined condition is that the total number of the first and second groups of user interface objects is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
A graphical user interface on a portable electronic device with a touch screen display, comprising:
A portable electronic device, comprising:
A computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by a portable electronic device with a touch screen display with a plurality of user interface objects, cause the device to:
A portable electronic device with a touch screen display with a plurality of user interface objects, comprising:
