Popular jailbreak developer Ryan Petrich (@rpetrich) has a new jailbreak tweak in development, which will allow users to detach a video from an iOS application and watch it from anywhere on an iDevice - such as the Home screen, the Messages app, or Safari.
Called VideoPane, the new jailbreak tweak is shown off briefly in a video published by iDownloadBlog. As you can see, Petrich's jailbreak tweak makes it possible to separate a video from an application (such as YouTube), to exit said app, and to browse one's iDevice - all while the video continues to play, in a pop-up-like interface.
Here's the preview video, see what you think:
