Anyone who is a regular jailbreaker of any of their iOS devices will ultimately have a set of must-have tweaks and installations which always manage to make it onto their device as soon as a new jailbreak is released for iOS. Sometimes those packages are installed because they offer something fun and and at times it is because they genuinely make using Apple's mobile operating system a lot better. Those packages that fall under the category of the latter generally tend to have a much longer shelf life than other offerings in Cydia, well, until Apple natively implements them that is.

Sharing images with friends after a social event can be a real pain, especially since there are always those shots you want, but somebody else took, or vice versa. Nagging somebody to upload certain photos to Facebook or send them via email is a bit of a hassle, and in an age where our devices can do quite a lot already, sharing images should not be as time-consuming as it often becomes.
This month has been pretty big for Apple with ongoing patent issues with Samsung as well as the Wall Street earnings report and the release of OS X Mountain Lion into the Mac App Store yesterday.

Jailbreaking an iOS device to liberate it from the restrictions which Apple has placed upon it is an extremely gratifying process. We love the technology and software which the fruit company provides, but we also love to have the freedom to do what we want with our purchase and that includes being able to modify the way the operating system works and how the device looks and feels. With that said, there is possibly nothing more infuriating than having a favorite tweak or enhancement that gets left behind and doesn't work with updated versions of the operating system.
Apple has today pushed out updated releases of both the iOS and Mac versions of the popular iWork site of productivity apps.
