It was only nine months ago when we wondered whether there was little reason left for jailbreaking an iPhone. Apple has continued to move OS X Mobile in a generally positive direction, and rumours of the 4.0 OS version supporting multitasking for certain applications is welcome news.
Per our last mendax.iphone app roundup, we only list six must-have apps requiring a jailbreak, two of which relate to multitasking. What’s left are apps that are situation dependent, with only SBSettings remaining as a “must-have”. This begs the question, “Is it worth jailbreaking after every iPhone OS upgrade just to toggle features on/off quicker, and maybe hide icons from the Springboard?” It’s a question we’re asking ourselves now that we’re counting on multiasking appearing sometime this summer. We hate to say it, but our gut reaction is “no.”
