Though it has a point about traditional multitasking burning through power, competing smartphone platforms — scratch that, every competing platform — has proven that it’s still plenty possible to get a full days’ life out of a battery while running a full host of apps in the background. Of course, the jailbroken iPhone community knows this full well, which is why there are a number of utilities available for backgrounding apps, but maybe none quite as slick as the just-released multifl0w. Taking a cue from the Pre, multifl0w adds backgrounded apps to a horizontally-scrollable gallery of cards; the only thing it’s missing is a swipe gesture for quitting, but it’s a minor point.
