Ryan Petrich has announced ProSwitcher, an upcoming utility to navigate through the applications running in the background on your iPhone. ProSwitcher integrates with Backgrounder similar to how Kirikae does it; however, that may change in the future if need be. It will use a library called libactivator and allow you to select from a number of gestures which one you want. ProSwitcher is being developed by Petrich with help from chpwn and is up on github right now. Currently there is no definite date on when it will hit a repository and be available to the general public; however, it will be free.
3G Unrestrictor, a utility to trick iPhones into thinking they’re on Wi-Fi, has been updated to version 2.0.2. 3G Unrestrictor allows you to go around the iPhone’s limitations and restrictions like not being able to use Skype or SlingPlayer while on a mobile internet connection like 3G or EDGE as well as many other things. It allows those things by tricking applications into believing they are on WiFi, even though they are on 3G or EDGE.
Voice recognition finally just hit the App Store with Dragon Dictate. We were actually expecting this from Apple since they even have a patent for it but Nuance communication, the company behind Dragon NaturallySpeaking just did it. It’s a very straightforward but incredibly powerful app. I tried it a couple times and even with my extremely weird accent it still worked decently. It then lets you send your text to the clipboard to use it in any app or directly put it in an email.
Dragon Dictate is free for a limited time only so jump on to your local iTunes store and grab it!

What was started as a small experiment has turned into an insane breakthrough achievement for young developers today. 3G4 uses stunning control and ROM interpretation that you almost think you are streaming from your TV. The beta apparently, “seems to run freaking flawlessly. The only problems i’m running into is duplicate button registers, delay of presses, and crashes when heavy gameplay occurs. “
