Dashboard for iPad, AppStore Reject Goes To Cydia
SoSly – Just a quick not to everyone this is an actual app you have to open, but if you have activator installed simply set a double press home to launch this app using activator and now you have a nice experience.
Rich Hong made a pretty sweet Dashboard implementation for the iPad. Except Apple rejected him from the AppStore. You know, for “contradicting the iPad’s user experience.” Well, that’s a new excuse, right? So what to do now? Ah, right – the iPad is jailbroken. Rich sent us Dashboard this afternoon, and it’s live on the ModMyi.com Cydia repo now – iPad only for free.
It’s pretty close to Dashboard for Mac, although it IS it’s own app – so you need to tap an icon to launch it. Ok, no problem. There’s even an option to “add more widgets” which opens Apple’s widgets section, and Rich has figured a nifty way to install those into Dashboard for iPad when you click the download link. Of course, they don’t all work on the iPad, so you’re on your own there.
