It seems like just the other day TiPb linked to a concept rendering of what Apple’s Mac Exposé might look like for the iPhone, and now Steve Troughton-Smith, creator of Stacks for iPhone, has gone and brought it to Jailbreak.
It’s not publicly available yet, not via Cydia much less via Apple. But do we want?

heck yes we want it. especially with so many apps installed. one might say it would be hard to find the app you are looking for but not true. i’m sure if you are like me, then you are familiar enough with your iphone that you know which apps are on what home screen and what a miniature version of that home screen looks like. now if i could just get blackra1n to jailbreak my phone without going non responsive on me that would be great,
October 15th, 2009 at 9:15 am
I could see this being helpful but not sure how much I’d use it
October 15th, 2009 at 9:18 am
1st! Stick it Ted!

@Johnathan
Restore to new phone 3.1.2 would be my suggestion.
What exactly is the issue you’re having? 3gs? Windows? 3.1.2 OTB?
October 15th, 2009 at 9:29 am
If its not slow like that, I want!
October 15th, 2009 at 9:29 am
Nice idea, but too slow drawing the screen.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:33 am
Yeah, the redraw seems incredibly slow. I’d rather have an official version of category folders. blackra1n does seem to work least buggily with a freshly restored 3.1.2 for some reason.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:33 am
Great for those with several screens. But not for those with two or three screens, where swiping is still quicker.
I still believe Jobs watches this stuff on the jailbroken iPhone he has hidden in his sock drawer.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:37 am
i noticed the phone had his memory at the top. Does anyone know what app hes using to show that? seems pretty helpful.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:45 am
Was that Steve Jobs or Bill Gates passing out and falling to the floor off-camera at the beginning? Neat stuff.
I guess I don’t have enough apps loaded to truly enjoy it. I’m still happy with four pages and occasional pruning of stuff I don’t use.

@DustinAE
Its under SBSettings: Extras & Options: *Statusbar Free Mem
October 15th, 2009 at 10:00 am
and I’m constantly trying to hone down the number of apps I have on my phone…
October 15th, 2009 at 10:00 am
Thanks Matt
October 15th, 2009 at 10:09 am
I wouldnt really need it. But then again even on my mac I don’t use my expose. So….
October 15th, 2009 at 10:22 am
I only have 4 pages at the moment, and it’s not really impressive enough for me to want. Just like stacks, which never has worked like the true version for me, it’s just another cool, but not real useful tool found on the JB side of things
October 15th, 2009 at 11:08 am
It’s a great proof of concept, but I’m not sure how much better that is vs just searching.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:23 am
Do we need it when we have universal search??
October 15th, 2009 at 11:25 am
@zeagus
I think it has to do with previous jailbreaks using other methods to exploit, but I could be wrong. Unless your phone was never jailbroken, I would restore and do it fresh from there.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:29 am
I want this TiPB keep us posted for when this become available
October 15th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Of course we want it. Stacks is one of the best features of my JB 3G, especially with the new update. STS is a great developer and I would support Expose’ any day. Bring it, today…please.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:46 am
i agree, with the universal search, what is the point of needing it? Seems to be much easier and quicker than expose would be.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:55 am
Wish Stack would get finished. Or even to a beta state. Can’t see much use for Expose myself, but STS is definitely a skilled coder. Good work.
October 15th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Yes, we do want. Who doesn’t like to show off the capabilites of your iPhone to some berry users ah?
I want it, badly, and I want it NOW!
October 15th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
@Matt: wow really man? i use expose( & spaces) ALL the time. Would be great on the iPhone for people with many pages
October 15th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
I would love to have that on a nonjailbreak! I would love to have Stacks as well.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
No.
October 15th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
much preferred the other one w/ coverflow….likely to never happen
October 15th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
Get rid of all the stupid icons Apple.
October 15th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
I have wanted the exposé feature ever since the rumored JB app TapSB that never came to be.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
I JB for use of sbsettings and a wallpaper. This would add to that. It seems slow now but I bet it will be brilliant on release. Keep us updated
October 17th, 2009 at 10:38 am
I say we WANT .. for iPhone even.
October 18th, 2009 at 7:11 am
App in Cydia now: Orbit uses the same concept
October 18th, 2009 at 10:15 am
Not exactly Expose.
