There are two that I know of; QLauncher and ihome. ihome seems to have been abandoned and QLauncher has some bugs, but you can try them both and see how they work for you. There may be others in the market as well.
Actually, I think this type of launcher would help make iPhone users' transition to Android much less painful.

You can long press on any screen to add applications.
I know how to do it manually, too but tht is not the point, I want know if there is way which would do it all the time automatically

You mean the homescreen? I'd think it dependent on the homescreen ui app. Also I dont think its really viable for some. For example, some UI have only limited homescreen panes available. For example, TouchWiz (7 screen limit) and Timescape (5 screen limit). Normally, app drawers can reach beyond such numbers, many people have more than 150 apps than go beyond that number of pages. It would actually be problematic if someone installed the app and then the homescreen suddenly got filled with app shortcuts.
Besides, the whole reason for Android having a homescreen is for customizing and the ability to put within our reach only the apps which we use most often. Other apps are more for setup and productivity that we dont really open but clutter up the app drawer. Having the homescreen allows us to get to the facebook app for example on one click, without having to search through all your apps.
You can try to look at different launchers though, there may be one that emulates iPhone's lack of a homescreen.

Great response. I was thinking the same thing, but like how you explained it.
I have over 175 apps that I've downloaded and use "Apps Organizer". I have only 7 homescreens with a combination of app folders and widgets (21 widgets total). For this reason, I hardly have to open the apps drawer. If you do want all your apps on the homw screen, I suggest using an apps organizer, that would allow you to group your apps on your home screen. I believe there is one called "Folder Organizer" which will allow you to place each new app you install, in a folder already created folder, that's on you home screen.

I actually have over 200 apps and all reachable from 3 homescreens. I use 15 icons on the scrollable dock of Go Launcher for all the folders from Folder Organizer.

it is too simple to do manually, so i don't think, that someone do for this some software
Nova launcher will add it to the home screen in its options
