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.

BossPrefs is a very handy utility that i would recommend to everybody. I allows you to activate services separately. For example, you can enable WiFi, BleuTooth, Edge, etc by flipping a switch in the application. There have been a lot of updates to BossPrefs in the last couple of days. The most significant changes are that it’s now possible to hide applications right from the BossPrefs as it includes Poof! the application also adds another icon Power, This will let you easily reboot, respring and shutdown your iPhone or iPod Touch. All in all a must have app for your iPhone!
