If the release of Mac App Store Apple wanted to offer the public a point of reference where to find, free of charge or for a fee, applications for the operating system, the purpose of Launch pad is to some extent, equal: put at the disposal of 'a reference point where you can find all the applications installed on your system. This is a solution that fits above the less savvy users, who may find it difficult to identify when there are no applications on the Dock because, perhaps, have no idea where to look.
Clicking on the icon shows a graphical representation of the Lion did the same wing of IOS springboard through which they appear, in one or more screens, the applications on the system. It 'best to make clear, however, that Launch pad only lists the applications in the "Applications" folder of your user and any subfolders, but is unable to detect any applications that have been installed in other locations, such as the Downloads folder . In this regard it would be better able to tell Launch pad to go into which folders to locate applications.
Just like you can with IOS, according to user needs, to group similar applications together into folders. In this case, each folder can contain up to 32 applications. The position is fully customizable applications and folders, similar to what you can do on the Apple mobile devices.
Apple wanted to tie in glove Mac App Store and Launch pad as soon as you start to download an application from the store, its icon appears in the window Launch pad accompanied by a progress bar to a representation of the file transfer. The application, once installed, will appear directly in Launch pad. If you want to uninstall an application downloaded from the App Store will be sufficient to hold the right mouse button and click on the little X that appears in the upper left corner of the icon, or drag the application to the trash.
Launch pad is, de facto, the first official Apple launcher (in the past similar functions were performed by third-party applications, we recall the most famous open source and Quicksilver), though savvy users use the search function time of Spotlight as quick launcher applications. Launch pad does not, however, is the only way to access the applications installed on your system, because the user can continue to operate in traditional ways. Still remains to be seen what the plans are evolving from Apple for this new feature, which visually represents the most obvious meeting point between the family Mac OS X and iPhone OS family.
