We told you recently about a brand new Cydia tweak called Siri0us, which brings Siri-like dictation to the iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod touch 4G touting a jailbroken version of iOS 5. The tweak is free, and has been downloaded by a good few people since it started to receive some publicity by both ourselves and a handful of tech sites.
Apple certainly made a splash with the release of Siri, even though it is in some sort of beta flavored flux. With nothing quite like it out there on any other device, and the decision to limit its availability to the new iPhone 4S, Apple both gave a reason to upgrade to iPhone 4 owners, and made the competition sit up and take notice at the same time.
When you think of the strengths of iTunes, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, you may think Smart Playlists, Siri, Notification Center or maybe, just maybe, iCloud.
The accelerometer, while not everyone's favored method of controlling cars in Real Racing (primarily because it looks strange on the subway) could have many other uses besides iOS gaming - at least if the tweaksters have their way!

Chair, the developers behind the hugely popular Infinity Blade, have released a two-minute trailer showing off the game's sequel, Infinity Blade 2.
Google has just released an update to its coveted iOS search app, with improved iPad UI as well as full-screen mode for the iPhone.
Previously we had shared a 99¢ app bringing shortcuts to different parts of the Settings panel you could install on your non-jailbroken iPhone. The custom shortcuts gave you SBSettings-like access on your iPhone Home Screen, granted, with limited functions.
When Apple launched Game Center in iOS 4, one of the many arguments laid fairly and squarely at its feet was its severe lack of any sort of messaging system. When you look at similar services on other platforms such as PSN, Xbox Live or Steam then you'll see that sending messages between players is integral to the experience. Apple missed that, completely.
Minecraft, the popular sandbox world building adventure, has just arrived at Apple's App Store for the iPhone and iPad. Minecraft Pocket Edition has already been rolled out to Android users, and it has been suggested that there will be eventual support for interaction between the two rivaling mobile operating systems via local wireless multiplayer.
