We know some of you out there just feinted over that 323 apps figure. It's true--we are gluttons when it comes to apps. But, we don't really use all of those titles for anything in specific, so here's a way to rid of those apps you might not need until a later time.
Locate one of the apps you want to delete. Now tap and hold it's icon until all the icons on the screen start to wiggle. Apps that can be deleted will display a white "X" inside of a circle on the upper left side of each icon. Tap that "X" and you'll then be asked to delete the app--press delete or cancel to abort.
If you need to delete more apps, swipe left or right through your iOS Springboard desktops and delete them one at a time. Note that folders and their contents cannot be deleted in mass. You have to delete all the apps inside individually before the folder will self-destruct.

Cancel this whole operation at any time and stop the apps from wiggling and making you dizzy by pressing the Home button.
Compatibility: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
