Infiniboard for iPad and iPhone: Vertical Pages On Your Springboard

Earlier today we’ve talked about Infinidock, a tweak available in Cydia that lets you put how many icons you want in your iPhone and iPad dock. You can scroll, create pages for dock apps and set a number of apps to have in each page. The developer of this tweak, @chpwn, has developer another cool utility called Infiniboard that allows you to create vertical pages on your home screen.

The concept is simple: wouldn’t it be cool to be able to vertically scroll each page of your iPad? This would let you insert more apps in every page and even create multiple vertical pages within the same “standard” page. And that’s exactly what Infiniboard does. Say you want to have all your games in the second springboard page, but you’ve got too many games to fit them in a single page: fine, just keep putting icons in that page and Infiniboard will just arrange them vertically, allowing you to scroll them.

Infiniboard was originally meant for the iPhone but it works great on the iPad nevertheless. Available in Cydia at $1.99, it’s highly recommended for all you iPad jailbreakers out there. A must have for me.
