Make your iPhone work like a Pre
It finally happened – happened
It finally happened – ooh woh
It finally happened – I’m slightly mad – oh dear !
This is what Freddie Mercury sang in the Queen song I’m Going Slightly Mad. Well, I’m not mad, but the unthinkable has happened. The iPhone is now copying the Palm Pre! Who would have thought. Everyone has been copying the iPhone, but no longer. The Pre’s multi-tasking card based UI is very good, and if you can’t wait till your contract expires before replacing your aging iPhone with the Pre, get Proswitcher for your iPhone. Together with Backgrounder, another cool app by Cydia, your iPhone will behave just like a Pre, running apps in the background and letting you view them as cards and switch between them. If you don’t know Cydia, think Appstore but with apps you cannot get through iTunes. Read about Cydia here.
