Abstract
A method and apparatus for editing the home screen in a touch-enabled device enables the touch-enabled device to move a content item between pages of the home screen in an easy and intuitive way by: displaying a selected page as a current home screen; detecting a first interaction in the course of utilizing the home screen; displaying, when the first interaction is a page transition interaction, a transition mode screen; detecting a second interaction for moving a content item between pages while the transition mode screen is displayed; and moving the content item to a target page indicated by the second interaction.
