Ryan Petrich has released a beta of his ProSwitcher utility to easily switch between background iPhone apps.

ProSwitcher, created by chpwn and rpetrich, can be installed by adding the http://booleanmagic.com/repo source to Cydia. If you do not know how to do this, you can find example instructions here.

The newest ProSwitcher beta (v0.7.3) fixes known crash bugs, improves performance and adds minor tweaks.

backgrounder is what makes Multifl0w and ProSwitcher possible. it would be insane to auto background every app you open just so you can use it with Multifl0w or ProSwitcher. your phone's memory will fail on you.

So it´s gonna be free after the beta as well? Sounds weird, since he charge for his other good apps... And speaking of sound; what´s up with the music in this video? I felt I was getting more and more aggressive... should use some other music :-D Now, going to test the beta :-)

hmm this is hard to decide. ProSwitcher and Multifl0w are equally good. ProSwitcher is more customizable though. It also doesn't stay on the app when you press the home button to exit out the multiview thing. Instead it goes to springboard while Multifl0w stays on app. Multifl0w let's you blacklist apps while ProSwitcher can't. Let's see how the new update of Multifl0w handles the memory leak because it is I N S A N E... i think my phone crashed and was put on safe mode leaving my screen on for the whole night. battery just... died.
