Many of the tweaks that ascend from the open-source cauldron that is Cydia are those of which you didn't realize you needed until you've encountered them. That's the wonder of having a jailbroken device - the more developers create these useful apps, the easier it becomes to tailor the experience of using an iDevice to your every day need.
While Facebook does allow users to make video calls to friends, this feature is limited to the desktop version of Facebook. If you want to make calls on the go, well, you can’t. However, with the recently updated Talkatone app, you can make voice calls to your friends on Facebook.

As you might be already aware, Apple has seeded iOS 5 Beta 5 to registered developers, but in order to sync with the new system, developers will have to download iTunes 10.5 Beta 5, which was also released just now.

With any modern version of iOS, in order to downgrade a device to a previous version of the system, users must have a backed up SHSH blob of the version they’re trying to upgrade/downgrade to, otherwise the process will just fail. This is done to protect devices from vulnerabilities present in earlier versions of iOS but it also stops jailbreakers from applying tweaks that might not be available on the current iOS.
The App Store has long-since been a commercial juggernaut, underpinning the ever-increasing success of Apple's iDevice range. It contains many great apps which undoubtedly make life a whole lot easier, but you have to filter out a lot of the junk in order to find those worthwhile additions to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
