1. A method for moving an image in a mobile device, comprising:

  • maintaining place holders in memory of a mobile device with a screen, each of the place holders being associated with a location on the screen;

    attributing indicia to the image;

    assigning the indicia of the image to one of the place holders;

    maintaining a selected holder in the memory;

    selecting the image;

    saving in the selected holder the screen location associated with the place holder to which indicia of the selected image is assigned; and

    to move the selected image, reassigning the indicia of the selected image to a different one of the place holders and replacing in the selected holder the saved screen location associated with the place holder with the screen location associated with the different place holder, wherein memory bandwidth consumption is lower with the use of the place holders and the selected holder than it would be with only movement of the selected image.
