And Richard that is why I asked the question. Because the fact is there are varying degrees of accessibility. I think no matter the application there will be some effort to knowing exactly where you are when using a touch interface. Is Pages perfect? Of course not and hopefully Apple will improve it. As far as folders it is not completely clear yet where things will go with that. I'm not so sure APple intends to kill the idea of having any folders. I personally love folders and the entire idea of tree structures.
