Ever since the introduction of iOS 5, Notification Center based tweaks have been all the rage. It seems that barely a day passes by without a developer dreaming up a new way to use the Notification hub for jailbreak purposes. Developer Ron Melkihor has come up with ClipboardEdit for Notification Center, which as the name might suggest allows jailbroken users to manipulate copied text strings directly through NC.
With beautiful typography, continuous horizontal layouts and large thumbnails, Window Phone 7’s “Metro UI” is arguably the best looking mobile operating system in the market today. It provides a completely original user-experience which focuses more on information than apps.
When Siri was added to the iPhone 4S late last year, some would argue that the face of interactive computing technology was changed forever. Some would argue that Apple unleashed a gimmick that nobody in their right minds would use past the initial week of the novelty factor.
I am pretty sure that if you search hard enough, the Cydia store will be able to produce an extension or tweak for pretty much any kind of situation that you can image. It is literally packed to the rafters with packages, with revblaze's HTML Editor being one of the latest commercial apps to land on the ModMyi repository.
Did you have to deal with issues brought about the Antennagate scandal plaguing the first batch of iPhone 4 devices? If you were, or indeed still are an owner of an original iPhone 4, you can request a $15 settlement from Apple.
While Windows 8 has received plenty of mixed criticism regarding its user interface and the desktop, there's a more unanimous agreement that it is a pretty damn good tablet OS.

But, while nothing will kill the iPad anytime soon, it is possible for a product to gain decent share in an Apple-dominated market. Just look at Android.
Apple have responded to a number of complaints raised by users, who have been seeing their 10.6 version of iTunes crashing in random situations. It would seem that when Apple released iTunes 10.6 after the new iPad media event in San Francisco, they inadvertently introduced a number of bugs which became apparent when users were playing videos, changing artwork size whilst in grid view and synchronizing photographs to an attached iOS device.
Remember those rumors a few years back about the possibilities of Apple releasing some kind of magical and revolutionary touchscreen Mac contraption? If you do then you will no doubt remember that they were quickly squashed due to the fact that they believed using a touchscreen interface on a Mac-like machine would prove to be unnatural and offer a terrible user experience. The company quickly followed up with the launch of the original iPad, a device that has achieved phenomenal success.
iOS developer Ganbold, who has brought customizable keyboards to the iPhone has now released a similar tweak which brings the ability to alter and arrange the keyboard on a jailbroken iPad. 5 Row Customizable Keyboard for iPad has recently hit Cydia and works in the same manner as its younger brother, which is for the iPhone. Apple have a dedicated Settings entry within iOS that allows users to define certain international keyboards, but these are pre-defined layouts and don't give the user a more advanced option of creating a keyboard to suit specific layout requirements.
