Can you create folders on an iPad2?

Question

How/can you create an empty folder on an iPad2?

Answer 1

You can't create an empty folder, an app folder has to have at least one app in it (and if you delete or move all apps from a folder then the folder will be automatically deleted) -  from the manual :
Create a folder: Touch and hold an icon until the Home screen icons begin to jiggle, then drag the icon onto another icon. iPad creates a new folder that includes the two icons, and shows the folder’s name. You can tap the name field to enter a different name.
Create a folder using iTunes: With iPad connected to your computer, select iPad in the Devices list in iTunes. Click Apps at the top of the screen, and on the Home screen near the top of the window, drag an app onto another.
Add an icon to a folder     While arranging icons, drag the icon onto the folder.
Remove an icon from a folder     While arranging icons, tap to open the folder, then drag the icon out of the folder.
Open a folder          Tap the folder. You can then tap an app icon to open that app.
Close a folder         Tap outside the folder, or press the Home button.
Delete a folder        Remove all icons from the folder. The folder is deleted automatically when empty.
Rename a folder     While arranging icons, tap to open the folder, then tap the name at the top and use the keyboard to enter a new name. Press the Home button to save your changes.
