With the flurry of iPhone hacks and applications since iPhone's launch; the real estate on iPhone's home screen has got that much more precious. Until now iPhone users have been limited to just 16 applications on the iPhone home screen.This is all set to change thanks to the latest iPhone hack from Natetrue, the hacking genius. The hack called "Dock" brings scrolling to the home screen so you longer have to worry about the 16 application limit.
As a workaround to this 16 application limit on iPhone's home screen (also called the Springboard); we had seen launcher applications that search for additional applications and let you choose one from a list. bitSplit has tried to this in the latest version of iFuntastic v3.03 by providing users the capability of having multiple home screens rather than being limited to only one with different applications on each of the home screens then NateTrue seems to have come with an even better iPhone-like solution.
The latest iPhone hack called "Dock" loads the applications on your iPhone into a single list which appears as the bottom row of icons on the home screen. So all you need to do to access all those cool new iPhone hacks or iPhone applications is to use your finger to scroll this bottom row of icons in the horizontal direction right or left and just tap the application you want to launch by tapping on the application icon.
It is still early days for the hack and as you would expect slightly buggy but Erica Sudan from Tuaw has checked it out and says "it works fabulously". To install the hack, you will need to use iBrickr (Windows) or Breezy (Macintosh Universal Binary) to load the Dock package on your iPhone.
The source code of the hack is also available, so feel free to check it out at this link. It seems to work really well in the video below posted by NateTrue:
