Spotify and Last.FM Apps Updated with iOS Multitasking Support
Snowtape for iPhone Now with Multitasking Support - 3 Codes Up for Grabs
I reviewed Snowtape for iPhone back in March, and since then I kept the app on my iPhone, until iOS 4 came out a few weeks ago. Why? Because when I installed the new OS and tried Pandora Radio, I couldn’t go back to listen to music in streaming without multitasking support. So I deleted it and thought “Well, let’s wait for an update”.
Lucky me, and update was already awaiting for Apple’s approval in the App Store. The new version of Snowtape comes with iOS 4 multitasking support: you can now listen to music when the app is paused (like Pandora) and go back to where you left off thanks to fast app switching. It works great, and it’s still available at $1.99 here.
Synergy Coming to iOS - With BTstack
Synergy is a well known open-source project that allows you to share a single mouse and keyboard across multiple computers, each with its own screen and hardware. You just move the mouse around and switch keyboard from device to device. I think it best represents Ive’s and Jobs’ definition of “magical”, actually.

iPhone and iOS Icons Rendered Entirely in CSS
We’ve seen what it’s possible to achieve with CSS before: the Opera logo, a Safari window built inside Safari itself, a Kinetic Type video. What about Apple-related stuff though? Now we have an iPhone and some iOS icons made entirely with CSS.
iPhone 4 Gets Its First “Userland” Jailbreak
iOS 4 Jailbreak: Why It Still Matters
iOS 4 brought multitasking, folders, unified inbox, threaded email conversations and note syncing to the iPhone. For these reasons, some people think that jailbreaking a device running iOS 4 is now pointless, considering that two of the biggest features of jailbreak (multitasking and folders) are now developed by Apple itself.
Did I jailbreak my iOS 4 iPhone 3GS? Yes. Do I think is still worth it? Yes.
Winterboard, Backgrounder, BTStack GPS Now iOS 4 Compatible
iOS 4 was released 5 days ago, but that didn’t stop Cydia developers who immediately started working on compatibility fixes for their apps and tweaks. Yes, iOS 4 is jailbreakable, in case you’re still wondering.
