Saurik talks about the next version of Cydia

Multitasking:

Everyone asks Cydia multitasking, but it is not possible because Cydia works with root permissions, have more permissions than a normal application, so it is not considered as such and can not suspend, then restarting.

There is a solution, run Cydia as an application and some of its work processes in root, but would Cydia much slower, and speed is paramount.

Backup:

Could be done, but there are many accounts Cydia and privacy is paramount, I would find a way to do it without anyone being able to access that information.

Speed:

Each version of Cydia is faster than the previous one, Cydia 1.1 will be the fastest. But there are some problems with repositories that do not depend on me directly. What we really need Cydia is no customer review, if not everything is hosted on my server and the App Store or Amazon Store.

On the other hand if you set either the "Changes" will gain much speed.

Memory:

Cydia uses lots of memory, the new version introduces many improvements in this regard, it is important to continue working on devices like the iPhone 3G even though they are old, the iPhone 3G may have 20MB of free RAM while the iPhone 4 can have 400MB.

Cydia startup errors:

These errors do not come from Cydia as I said, come from their own repositories

Ratings and reviews:

We've tried and failed, you spend more time moderating comments that developing the application.

I look better than the app had a trial version.

Repositories that provide non-stop failures and can not be deleted:

We are working to prevent this from happening, right now when this happens the only solution is to remove all installed packages from the repository, we can make clear the corrupted repository without having to remove installed applications that repository.
