You have to give it to the jailbreak community, sometimes they make some absolutely excellent apps. Multifl0w is a perfect example. It’s a multitasking app that works like expose, showing little windows of the apps your currently in. Like going through tabs in Safari, but between apps. It works on iOS 3.1.x or iOS 4, and on the iPhone or iPad.
Hot diggity damn, that’s cool. It’ll set you back $5 from the Cydia store, but I’ve got to say, it looks pretty freaking good.
Apparently it’s been around for a while, has anyone in our readership used it? Is it as good as it looks? Tell us in the comments.

Not just sometimes, but Very Often, great apps come out of the “jailbreak community” (I’d like to start calling it the “Customization Community”!)
Action Menu for instance, just updated for iOS4, gives Cut/Copy/Paste a complete clipboard of options.
I used it on a iPhone 3G and it made the phone very slow but it did work. It took me a while to figure out what was slowing my phone down but that was it! It might work ok on a 3GS or 4.
Now I’m noticing slowdown on my iPhone 4 because every app you open goes into the stock multitask bar. When you restart your phone it looks like all apps get loaded into memory causing slow down and fast battery drain in standby. Some options to controll this might be a good thing. I don’t care for the multi tasking very much either way.
I’m not even jailbroken and am willing to pay for that app!
I really really honestly don’t get it. I don’t see what you guys see in the jailbreak apps, though I haven’t seen them all or even been to cydia. BUT… I can say what I see. I see a lot of things about these apps that remind me of MICROSOFT. they all look so fancy and FLASHy. But not long afterwards they run their course like the latest fashion trend and it’s on to the next one. These apps aren’t services, they’re perks! Apple develops services.
Muddy certain apps are useless but some for example myWii is very useful. Can you imagine tethering without the $20 a month price from ATT?
