Such a great release on Cydia tonight, one that will be remembered by jailbreakers for months. Multifl0w, one of the first apps that brought “visual multitasking” to iPhone OS 3.0, has been updated to include support for iOS 4, iPhone 4 and iPad.

Multifl0w: Exposè-like Multitasking for iPhone and iPad
Preview Your Designs with Review for iPhone
Review is an awesome new application from Kevin Kalle and Pieter Omvlee. With an awesome interface from Kevin Kalle and a great Mac companion application, it’s a must have for anyone designing for the iPhone platform. I myself design for the iPhone and up to this point I had been using a beta version of Pastebot. Review fits a spot that has long been needing an application to fill it.
Push Your iPhone Towards the Air…And Use It As A Telescope
“There’s an app for that.”
I’m just going to say that there’s an accessory for that. There are hundreds of thousands of applications for the iPhone, but don’t understimate the avaiability of custom accessories for it. Just head over store.apple.com to see by yourself. Still, the cool & geek stuff reside in modders’ minds. Those very brave people who don’t care about limits and hardware limitations and create stuff like a Macbook Air under an Apple keyboard.
Now we have an iPhone 4 telescope.
Filer: Elegant File Manager for iPhone and iPad
Getting files on the iPhone and iPad is some kind of a problem: unless you purchase an additional application in the App Store, there’s no easy way to get any file on iOS by default. Sure, you can email yourself some files and open them in Pages, Numbers - still you have to purchase the iWork apps and only documents can be opened in them. This is why GoodReader for iPad sold so well in the first weeks of April: there was no alternative. If you wanted stuff to land on the iPad, you had to buy GoodReader.
Now we have alternatives. I already reviewed Air Sharing HD, iFiles (the app I use every day) and explained how you can easily link your Mac’s Finder to iOS using a jailbroken iPad. Filer, previously known as Downloader, is a very nice looking and useful file viewer / document manager available both on iPhone and iPad as universal app.
EpicWin: To-Do List With an RPG Spin. Reviewed.
I was really looking forward to the release of EpicWin for iPhone. Ever since it was first announced, I thought that it might be interesting to see whether an RPG-based productivity app could shake things a little bit in the App Store. Yes, the App Store is full of crappy “business” and “productivity” apps; on the other hand, there are some exceptional tools like OmniFocus and Things that lead the mobile GTD revolution.
Still, many people find these apps boring. They don’t get things done with them because they don’t feel motivated enough. You missed your daily review? You get a badge on the homescreen. And they don’t get things done.
EpicWin is meant for all those people who want to be productive but haven’t found the right iPhone app yet. By making your to-do list feel like a quest, can EpicWin really change the way we organize and complete our tasks?
Nintendo NES Games in the App Store? Not Exactly
Oh, Shoemaker - what are you doing? First you forget to tell the world (and Steve) about your iWiz accomplishments, and now you approve Nintendo rip-offs in the App Store? What’s going on?
Hey, Nokia: Where Have I Seen This Before?
Because you know, Apple once used the “iPhone is about connecting people” expression in a promo video and Nokia was mad at Steve and Ive. Now that you remember that, take a look at the image below.
No, it’s not what you think! It’s not a Macbook-inspired phone. Oh no, not at all.
Let’s just say that’s…”understanding what consumers want and give it to them”.
Adam Atomic Talks Canabalt and Indie Gaming [Video]
Adam Saltsman (aka Adam Atomic) is the man behind Canabalt, seriously one of the best “indie games” ever released in the last decade. What’s Canabalt? It’s a parkour-inspired game where you have to run and jump to avoid obstacles. Actually, the character automatically runs and you only have to press the jump button - or tap the screen in the iPhone and iPad versions.
The following footage was produced by James Swirsky and the team behind Indie Game: The Movie, due out next year. This segment won’t be included in the final movie. Check it out below. [Indie Game: The Movie via Engadget]
“Get a Mac” Star Justin Long Jailbreaks His iPhone [Video]
In what is probably one of the videos that made me laugh the most recently, former “Get a Mac” ad star Justin Long shows off his jailbroken iPhone on ABC. Or maybe the producer asked him to jailbreak it in order to install the TV-out application from Cydia?
Check out the video below. [via Engadget]
