`DETAILED DESCRIPTION
`Certain embodiments are described that enable locating 45
`recently installed applications on a portable electronic
`In the following description , specific details are set forth

`In some embodiments , a visual indicator is displayed with
`in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodi
`an icon associated with an application that was recently

`installed on a portable electronic device . The visual indicator 50 However , it will be apparent that various embodiments may

`be practiced without these specific details .
`In other
`applications . This makes it easier for a user to locate and use
`instances , well - known methods , procedures , components ,
`a recently installed application . Examples of a visual indi -
`and circuits have not been described in detail so as not to
`cator include a sash on the icon , a badge on the icon , a color
`unnecessarily obscure aspects of certain embodiments .
`of the icon , text , opacity of the icon , size of the icon , 55
`Certain embodiments of the present invention assist in
`identifying recently installed applications so recently
`movement of the icon , or flashing of the icon .
`In some embodiments , a user browses and installs appli -
`installed applications can be easily located and launched by
`the user . This enhances the user experience by eliminating
`cations using an application store application on a portable
`electronic device . After selecting a first application for
`the frustration of “ losing " applications and spending time
`installation , the device continues to display a user interface 60 searching home screen pages for newly installed applica
`for the application store application , allowing the user to

`continue to browse additional applications and , potentially ,
`user to stay in the application store and browse additional
`select other applications for installation . Upon the next
`applications without immediately having to be shown the
`presentation of the home screen , the first home screen page
