With the plethora of different multi-tasking/app switching applications available for the jailbroken iPhone, it's hard to believe that none have yet been ported to the iPad. Sure, backgrounder works fine, but without a way to switch between applications that are currently running it's only 50% of the way there. Enter PadLauncher. Developer "thezimm" recently posted the following on the modmyi forums: "Hey guys, I happen to be the dev of this project (and of Circuitous). I am currently combining Circuitous and PadLauncher into one app (which will be called Circuitous). This is a beta hence why it is not released yet. This is why it seems "buggy" and "slow". Just because 4.0 is coming does not mean that my apps will not work. I will be porting it to 4.0, and I believe my version will be better than 4.0's. Just a couple of features to point out: Favorites Hidden Apps Gestures to close/background the top app All Orientations An icon on SpringBoard to show the dock" Looks like he's got a bunch planned for this app. Stay tuned for more information and check out the video of the beta version of the app running below.
