There’s a new interesting hack for the Apple iPhone, which enables five icons displayed in a single row on the iPhone/iPod Touch’s homescreen. The so called Five-Column Springboard is not available at the moment of this writing (or at least I’ve missed it), but it should hit Cydia and Installer.app in the near future. Yap, you’ll need to have your iPhone jailbroken in order to have five-icons-per-row singing on your homescreen.

I’ll stop here, as this is quite straightforward. A short demo video follows after the jump. If you have any thoughts whether this could be useful or not, we’re eager to hear your thoughts. Comments form is all yours…
