My daughter just upgraded her iPhone to iOS 5, and was confused at how to either get rid of the new Newsstand app or to at least move it into her "Useless" folder. After a little Googling we managed to find the secret incantation. The method used to do this is almost certainly a bug in iOS and so may be removed in the next update, but here is how you do it.
You take two regular apps, drop one on top of the other, this will create a new folder. While this new folder is being created you quickly, really, really quickly, grab the newsstand app and drop it also into this new folder. This will put the newstand app into this new folder, it is a little tricky to do so it may take a few tries. Note that you can't actually use it when it is in this folder, if you actually want to use this app you will need to move it back to your homescreen.
I did this and it worked quite nicely... for a while. But the other day while syncing, my iPod churned and churned for a long time, trying to do something, and when it was finally done, Newsstand was back.
