The implementation of multi-tasking in webOS is fabulous. The closest thing in iOS is switching between open web pages in Safari. iOS 5 won’t offer any significant improvements in how iOS handles multi-tasking. A new app titled CardSwitcher, aims to change how iOS handles multitasking and looks to offer a similar experience to how it’s handled in webOS. Users can initiate a card view and then move between those cards to access a particular app.

The developer promises it will be available in the CydiaStore shortly for $1.99. Of course, it requires that you’re iPhone is jailbroken.
