Here’s an interesting idea Apple could consider implementing as part of its iPhone 3.0 update. The so called TapSB is a SpringBoard mod that allows jailbroken iPhones/iPod Touch users to browse their homescreens much faster. Once installed, TapSB is super-easy to use:
- Double tap on the homescreen, and you will see thumbnail versions of 6 different pages
- Tap on a thumbnail and the full page will be shown
This isn’t exactly the full-blown Xperia panel — as Xperia panels can be quite complicated apps — but you get the point. Showing multiple screens on a single page is definitely useful for browsing around all those apps you certainly have installed on your iPhone/iPod Touch.
Look for TapSB in Cydia, give it a try and let us know what you think about it.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
