ProSwitcher – Palm webOS style App Switching

Posted by: Matt In: Gadgets|Internet|Technology

One problem I’ve always had with the iPhone OS is the lack of multi-tasking. When I first played with my Aunt’s Palm Pre, the only thing I was really impressed with was the way webOS handles application switching. So, just when I thought there was no longer a need to jailbreak… ProSwitcher was released on the Big Boss repository via Cydia (only for jailbroken phones). The application works with Backgrounder, which has been around for some time, allowing for smooth app switching. Backgrounder allows you select which apps should remain open as well as which should always be closed. ProSwitcher is very configurable- I have mine set to activate on the home button double tab and the pinch out from the home screen. Now I can run Facebook and Tweetdeck at the same time. In the car, I can run my Nav and Pandora at the same time.
