Multifl0w – Promising Multitasking Concept for iPhone
Multifl0w is a not-yet-released app that promises a different and very promising looking approach to app switching on a jailbroken iPhone.
One of the very best things about jailbreaking an iPhone (especially a 3GS) is the ability to multitask “ to run non-built-in (Mail, Safari, iPod) apps in the background and switch between them. There are a few jailbreak apps around that provide this extra functionality – Backgrounder provides the ability to let apps remain running in the background, and apps like Kirikae and mQuickDo offer ways to switch between those ‘backgrounded ‘ apps or other favorite, most frequently used ones.
Multifl0w offers a coverflow / Palm Pre Cards style method for switching between backgrounded apps “ so once you invoke it (via home button presses) you just swipe to switch between running apps.
I ‘m very keen to see whether this one is as good as it looks. Hopefully we may see it soon “ the only ‘status ‘ listed for it on the multifl0w site right now is: This is going to be submitted to both Cydia and Rock.
Check out the demo video above and let us know what you think of multifl0w.
I spotted this via a post over at the iPhone in Canada site.

id love 2 see this!! id definitely get it. MUCH better than swiping across the screen mQuickDo interferes with SBSettings for the swipe to open. hopefully this happens!!!
love your reviews multiflow is available now http://media-phone.ch/en/software/smartscreen/
Are you saying multifl0w is available now, or the other widgets app you linked to is out now? If it's multifl0w, then what source is needed in order to see it? If it's the other, then thanks but that's not multifl0w.
This looks pretty awesome if it works the right way…. I guess we will see. I am new to the jailbreaking community & I am looking for new apps. I downloaded Backgrounder but I want more of a multi-tasking app, like the above video. So far I have downloaded: Poof, PogoPlank, Winterboard, Five Icon Dock, & GV Mobile. I need more recommendations…… Thanks!
If you're after more multitasking / app switching you should take a look at mQuickDo and Kirikae.
