The iPad Gets Pre-like Multitasking with ProSwitcher

If you’re running a jailbroken iPhone, I guess that one of the tweaks you installed from Cydia is ProSwitcher. This simple yet powerful utility from Ryan Petrich allows you to switch between apps running in the background using a Palm Pre like “cards” UI, which is undoubtedly useful and easy to use. Just assign an Activator shortcut to it, launch it anywhere on your iPhone and switch between the apps you’ve backgrounded in a matter of seconds.

Now, you can install and use ProSwitcher on the iPad.

iPad USB Typewriter [Video]

So you’re looking for cool iPad accessories. You already have a case, a dock, some additional cables. Perhaps you should consider a USB Typewriter now.

“The USBTypewriter is a new and groundbreaking innovation in the field of obsolescence. Lovers of the look, feel, and quality of old fashioned manual typewriters can now use them as keyboards for any USB-capable computer, such as a PC, Mac, or even iPad! The modification is easy to install, it involves no messy wiring, and does not change the outward appearance of the typewriter. So the end result is a retro-style USB keyboard that not only looks great, but feels great to use.”

Available at $400 - $500 here (it’s handmade, meaning that each model is different), or at $75 as DIY kit. Check out the promo video after the break.

Dejaplay, Social Video Aggregator for iPad

YouTube is a huge productivity killer. Seriously, there’s no place like YouTube if you want to spend some time browsing videos and listen to your favorite artists, but problem is - those “15 minutes a day” always become 2 hours of wasted work. Unless you use some software like Concentrate, I guess it happened to you as well.

Most of the time though, it’s hard to find videos you really care about: you usually start from a silly Steve Jobs parody and then somehow end up watching a 1984 interview, but what if you could start from videos you know you’re interested in the first place?

Dejaplay for iPad aims at being your ultimate video aggregator by selecting videos shared by your Twitter and Facebook contacts.
