Usually with jailbreaking, someone will hack a way to do something on an iPhone, then later down the road Apple creates a better and prettier way to do said thing. Well this time, the reverse is actually true. In iOS 4.0, Apple finally added the long-requested multitasking feature, and did so in a unique and good looking way. But this time, instead of Apple's solution being the final word, someone out there has actually improved upon it. Multifl0w handles multitasking on the iPhone similar to Exposé. When you activate it, it will bring up all the open apps with thumbnails that you can move around or close with the familiar red button. In a video demonstrating it, everything looks smooth, with no lag. Another nice thing about Multifl0w is that you can choose how to want to activate it, by pressing and holding on the home button, shaking the phone, you can even activate it through a headset.
As you probably suspected, your iPhone has to be jailbroken to get Multifl0w, which is a $4.99 app in the Cydia store. Check out Multifl0w in action with a techno-plagued video below.
