Though the App Store was a revolution for Apple, and besides the fact that everybody uses the App Store, there are many apps which Apple will never approve. You know, SDK. Backgrounder, BiteSMS, Twidget,Winterboard: the best hacks for your iPhone can only be installed with Cydia, the amazing “alternative App Store” from Saurik. Obviously, you’ll have to jailbreak to install and use Cydia.

But anyway, if you already have a jailbroken phone, you should know that Saurik launched a few months ago the Cydia Store, a real store within Cydia where you can purchase paid apps. Today, I’d like to talk about two new apps from the Cydia Store, Overboard and Multifl0w.

Overboard - $2

Overboard is very similar to Orbit from Steve Troughton Smith, but with a few refinements worth a mention. First, Overboard feels snappier and smoother than Orbit: the animations are faster, both when you enter the “exposè” mode and when you select the page you’d like to jump top. It supports custom Winterboard themes, the Spotlight page and it can be invoked with a single click on the home button.

Multifl0w - $4.99

This is awesome guys. Multifl0w is a tweak for backgounder which lets you quickly switch between backgounded apps much like Safari lets you switch between open tabs. Double click on the home button and a nice translucent black menu will overlay the springboard showing the applications running in background. Tap on a window preview and you’ll be back into the app. It works great, though you can’t close apps like you can do with tabs in Safari, I hope the developer will implement this.

Anyway, if you use Backgrounder a lot, this is a must-have.
