Hasta La Gadget!

Stacks is an add-on for jailbroken, or hacked, iPhones which brings a distinctly Mac-like tweak to the iPhone UI. As the video shows, Stacks lets you replace the icons in the home row (the non-moving row of icons at the bottom of the screen) with, well, stacks. Touch one with your finger and it expands to show a bendy column of extra icons. Think of it as piling up app shortcuts and then fanning them out like a pack of cards to pick one. Stacks has been around for a little while, but the video shows the soon-to-be-released v3 which adds renaming and drag’n’drop editing.

As Erica Sadun over at the Unofficial Apple Weblog notes, it’s a shame that you need a Jailbroken iPhone to run this neat and rather handy tweak. On the other hand, though, the OS 3.0 search feature all but renders this obsolete. .
