Orbit, the new application by Steven Troughton-Smith is now available in the Cydia Store. The app provides Expose like functionality to your Springboard pages.
In our testing we found Orbit performed quite well. Quick and responsive. It would however be nice if the Home button returned you to the page you activated Orbit from.
Another great feature would be the launch of Orbit using a pinch gesture on the Springboard. Turns out Steven is already working on this and it may be including in version 2 of the app.
Take a look at the video below to see pinch in action. You can purchase Orbit for $1.99 from the Cydia Store.

The Orbit app is based on a concept developed by Ocean Observations. To see the original video that inspired Steve to make this app, visit us on:

It would be nicer if the expose came out with two taps on the screen !!

Works great on my 3G running 3.0. I recommend it. It's fast and clean. The only I would add is a way to put a title on each grouping screen perhaps.
