Groovershark App Pulled from App Store
Grooveshark have a history for not getting their official iPhone app quite right. First, they wanted to be able to do stuff like background music streaming when Apple wasn’t providing the API for that, and when the app was rejected, they decided to publish it on Cydia. It was even a good-looking app.
A few days ago the client was finally released in the App Store. Now, the app is no longer available.

Pastebot: Clipboard Savvy Music Syncing
When iOS 4 landed on the iPhone and iPod touch, a lot of people expected there to be this explosion of multitasking applications that would enable us to do things like automatically copy information to our Pastebot clipboard. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened. Private APIs are still a sorry subject for developers in Apple’s community, so the folks at Tapbots had to get creative. “How do we avoid touching Apple’s Private APIs?” It’s all done through the sound of music. Or the lack thereof.

Dropbox for iPhone Adds HD Uploads, Bug Fixes
Another update for Dropbox for iPhone, which reaches version 1.2.4 - an update aimed at fixing compatibility issues with iOS 4, together with some new iPhone 4-specific features.
The new version includes HD settings for iPhone 4, but only for newly recorded videos and not for those stored in the Library. Also, there’s a new “Require Immediately” passcode setting if a user leaves the app for a moment.

The app is available for free here.

Remove Recents Hides iOS Apps That Don’t Support Multitasking
The most important feature of iOS 4 is multitasking and, look, we get it. You’re now able to quickly switch between apps and go back to the exact place you left off the app. It’s cool, and it works good. The problem is, there are too many apps that still don’t support the new multitasking APIs, and it’s kind of annoying to get these apps in the multitasking drawer, tap on them and find out that they haven’t been updated for iOS’ persistent state.
Fortunately for jailbroken users, the solution is in Cydia.
