Why Jailbreak: Orbit - Exposé for your iPhone

May 19, 2010

If you've got more than a couple of pages of apps installed, you know how much of a pain it can be scrolling through to find what you need. Orbit gives you Exposé-style access to all you pages saving you from all that page swiping. On installation of Orbit an icon will also be installed on your home screen. The icon can be moved just like any other app to wherever you want (I installed 5 Icon Dock so I could have it accessible at all times). Press the icon and a thumbnail view of all your pages will be shown. Press on any thumbnail and you will be instantly taken to that page.

On first launch, Orbit can take a few seconds to load the thumbnails depending on the amount of pages you have, but subsequent loads will be near-instant. Orbit is amazingly fast and saves so much time. This is a must have for anyone who has more than a couple of pages of apps. Orbit is available from Cydia for $1.99.
