Backgrounder brings the multitasking ability to jailbroken iPhone. It’s a great hack for iPhone and lets you run iPhone app in the background. Aaron Ash, an iPhone developer, has released an interesting app named as Multifl0w that enhances the multitasking interface of backgrounder.

Available via the Rock App, Multifl0w allows you to easily switching between different background applications. The multitasking interface is very similar to that of Safari’s page switch. The multitasking interface displays the thumbnail of each background application. You can swipe through the background application and just tap on the thumbnail to switch to that application.

To launch Multifl0w, you can simply double tap the Home button and it’ll show you the available background apps. The multitasking app takes up small memory footprint and runs pretty fast. To further learn about how it works, check out the video:

Multifl0w can only support jailbroken iPhone and is available via Rock app for US$4.99. If you haven’t installed the Rock App, you can launch blackra1n and tap “Rock” to install.

Personally, the app is pretty cool and I really hope Apple can bring us the “true” multitasking support in the next OS upgrade. What do you think about Multifl0w app? Leave us comment and share your thought.
