When the internet discovered last week that Apple's Siri provided a rather interesting response to the question "what is the best smartphone ever," much hilarity ensued.

It would seem that iOS developer Ron Melkhior is quickly becoming one of the most productive jailbreak tweak developers of late, a thought that is only strengthened with the release of his latest package into the Cydia store. Melkhior has pushed out his latest creation, called GrabberApp, that should give some extra choice to users who make use of iOS 5.1's lock screen camera implementation.
The release of the innovative Dashboard X tweak has given a new lease of life to all of those Notification Center based widgets that have been sitting stagnant in the add-ons section of Cydia.
