Homebrew: ‘Multitask7’ Brings Multitasking to WP7

Jaxbot, the same hacker that brought us that dehydration trick not to long ago is at it again with ‘Multitask7’. It is a program (hack) that gives us multitasking on Windows Phone 7. Yes I know the famous Mango update will allow us to do that later this year but what would be the fun in waiting.

The homebrew program is still being worked on and has not been released yet. It works by pressing the camera button halfway.

“…the application is triggered by pressing the half shutter button (pressing the camera button halfway, not to the point where the camera would launch), and allows the user to jump between desired applications. The applications run in the background to a degree, as shown with the timer, and no time is required to bring the applications back from their background state. It’s all very technical, but rest assure that he will be sharing some more details in the future.

Keep in mind the application is a preview-the interface and how it functions may very well change before release, and no release date is available. But if you’re interested in having it on your device, share some thoughts about how you think it should look, function, etc, in the comments below.”
