This one goes out to all the jailbroken iPhones there. Introducing Multifl0w, the latest iPhone app that enables true multi-tasking of iPhone apps for jailbroken iPhones. If you’re not jailbroken, you’re probably all too well aware that your Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) smartphone isn’t allowed to run multiple apps at the same time (Apple’s native iPhone apps excepted). That’s because Apple has been stubbornly holding on to their assertion that multi-tasking will kill the iPhone’s battery like a butcher to a cow. That myopic stance on multi-tasking has spawned several multi-tasking apps for jailbroken iPhones. Multifl0w is easily the baddest of the bunch.
Multifl0w allows the user to continue running an iPhone app in the background by opening the app and holding down the “Home” button, just like another multi-tasking app known as “Backgrounder.” But, it’s Multifl0w’s window-based multi-tasking interface that really sets it apart from the crowd. Double-clicking the Home button brings up a gallery of iPhone app windows, allowing the user to flick through various running apps and interact with them at will. Closing an app is as simple as holding down the Home button on an open app.
Multifl0w is $4.99, which is a lot more than, say Backgrounder, which is free. But, if you want a flick-friendly window-based interface, Multifl0w is your only bet.
