Getting around Springboard

If you're like me, you load up your iPhone with lots of apps, then spend lots of time swiping right and left to get to your numerous apps, often a pain and definitely time consuming.

However, with a jailbroken iPhone you have two nice options : Orbit and OverBoard. For a mere $1.99 your swiping pains can be a thing of the past.

Both perform essentially the same key task : when activated you are presented with a screen of thumbnails that represent each of your screens. All you need to do is touch the thumbnail of the screen that you want to go to and you're there!

Both Orbit and OverBoard can be invoked by pressing the home button or tapping the application icon - OverBoard can also be activated by a screen pinch ( a bit less precise method ).





I personally prefer OverBoard over Orbit as it is a bit faster than Orbit and I likes the speed man - ( I haven't tried out the latest version of Orbit, v1.1.4 ). With OverBoard I also like that when you are at the thumbnail screen you can press the home button again to take you immediately to the first screen ( I like to "home" my Springboard on the first screen when I'm finished using my iPhone ).

Orbit and OverBoard are both valuable time saving utilities and are definitely worth the $1.99 ... get one of them!
