Jailbroken iPhones Get Pre-styled Multitasking cards

Monday, December 28, 2009

For all those rebels out there running jailbroken iPhones along comes an app called Proswitcher that makes your iPhone multitask like a Palm Pre. Surprisingly this is a big deal to those of us who are trying to do a million things at once. Even my kids were upset to find that their iPhone won’t multitask like the Palm Pre TV ads gleefully demonstrated.

9to5mac.com is reporting this app gives the iPhone the flickable cards and “allows you to finely customize the way you want to multitask apps. You can trigger the cards view by opening the application from home-screen, touching the status bar, or by double clicking the home button. To add an application to the Cards view, you simple have to launch the app, then hold down the home button for about one to two seconds. To remove an app from the “Cards” view click the close button on the top left of the card, to swipe the card up the screen.”

This app is for the more experienced jailbreakers. It will be interesting to see how hard this is on the phone’s battery, which is why Apple precluded multitasking. If this app does not unduly suck battery power they just might consider including this functionality on a future generation of iPhone.

Let the power of Proswitcher multitasking set you and your jailbroken iPhones free! Get even more facebooking done all the while completing that term paper and reading up on the latest TSA regulations!
