Hey, I just learned the "all apps" button does another thing: today I held my finger on it very lightly for a bit longer than normal (I was thinking about pressing it but hadn't pressed yet) and it opened up a mini-display of all 5 home screen pages! Then when I tapped on one of the mini pages, it took me right to it.
I had to practice a little bit to get just the right touch to do it again (too light and it doesn't work, too hard and it activates the button) but now I can do it pretty easily.
It's kinda cool...but swiping to change home pages is still easier/faster for me. Just thought I'd share this in case no one else has found it yet.
