A new application is now available in Cydia called Backgrounder, which leaves applications running even after you hit the home button. Traditionally, the iPhone will terminate an application after the home button is depressed to return to the home screen. Backgrounder, as the name implies, lets applications run in the background allowing you to return to them in the future. This ability is great for applications such as MobileCase for downloading podcasts in the background while you surf Safari or check Mail, or for instant messaging applications to continue to run like BeeJive. The downside is that your battery life will be quickly depleted.

Among all of the App Store apps, Palringo is probably one of my favorite. The main reason being is ever since I got my first iPhone almost 12 months ago, i was always upset that i had no way of talking to my MSN/AIM buddies. An IM app was the main reason i jailbroke my iPhone to begin with. Now the App Store offers many IM apps, but this one is (in my mind) the most stable and most prominent. Although this update was only a x.x.1 update it still gave it many new features and bug fixes. » Palringo 1.2.1 update
