Ok So Locktopus is the new Locking App for your iOS4 Jailbroken iPhone. Although iProtect doesnt work for iOS 4… yet, we decided to make a comparision on the two.
We figured most of you are familiar with iProtect. iProtect truely is a better app when it came to locking programs. You only really need a number pad. Locktopus loads the whole QWERTY keypad which makes entering passwords on the fly more difficult. Having a number pad with iProtect gave you larger buttons for unlocking.
As shown in the pic above, locktopus allows you to lock and unlock apps from a hold on the home screen. We see this as an inconveinence since you might accidentally click the lock when just moving icons. iProtect only let you lock and unlock from the settings window.
Verdict
Locktopus is inferior to iProtect, but since iProtect is limited on compatibility, we will take what we can get.
Both are apps found on Cydia
