Apple’s CoverFlow view is slick indeed. Paired with the iPhone’s capacitance multi-touch display, CoverFlow really shines. Well, it shines in the iPhone’s album/music browsing function and nowhere else. It’s just a shame that CoverFlow wasn’t more fully developed to work in other iPhone features – thanks, Apple.
And, that’s why we love the third-party iPhone development community (all without an official iPhone SDK, by the way). Kevin Brosius figured out how to use the CoverFlow UI in other iPhone applications. Then, Layton
Duncan put together a demo application that displays your iPhone’s Applications directory in all its CoverFlow glory.
We’re crossing our fingers for iPhone developers to integrate CoverFlow view into every iPhone application.
Jailbreak and SSH are a must to take advantage of the new CoverFlow application for your Application list/homescreen, but you’ve already got those bases covered. Right?
