Eclipse, a jailbreak tweak we featured late last month, adds a beautiful Night Mode to the interface of iPhone users. And now, Eclipse has been handed a useful update, bringing with it, among other things, beta support for the iPad. Details after the break!
Multi-user capabilities have long since been a feature sought by iOS users, and while this is not yet a possibility at stock level, the freedom offered by a jailbreak means that the boundaries imposed by Apple can virtually be diminished. A new tweak called GuestMode, while not able to facilitate multiple users in the purest sense, does offer a Windows / OS X-like guest feature that puts you in control, allowing you to share your device with others without having to worry about them snooping your files or accessing certain apps.
Infuse, the versatile video player developed by FireCore, has just been updated to version 2.2, and brings with it an abundance of new and exciting features.

Even if you're not a fan of the NFL, the build up, advertisements and general buzz around the Super Bowl is pretty difficult to ignore, and this Sunday's Super Bowl XLVIII showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos is expected to attract a worldwide audience well into the hundreds of millions. It's going to be, as ever, quite the exhibition, and if you're still undecided as to where or how you're tuning in, the FOX Sports GO app will be streaming the event for free for those in ownership of the Apple iPad. It's a special, one-off promotional deal to get sports fans downloading the app, but hey, since it's free, why not?
Gestures, when applied correctly, can make a great deal of difference to functionality. Not only do they make the process of switching between menus, apps, or certain features a lot more seamless, but there's a certain air of finesse about doing things this way. Gesture Music Controls, a new tweak that has just hit Cydia, makes using the Music app - as well as the controls on the lock screen and within the Control Center, just that little bit more pleasurable, and if you're an avid music listener on iOS, then Gesture Music Controls may well pique your interest.
Launch Center Pro, which works as something of a makeshift launcher for iPhone users, has enjoyed incredible success thanks to its slick, minimalistic interface and support for a wide range of apps and shortcuts. Now, for the first time, it has been rolled out for the iPad, and with an interface tailored for the increased display real estate, it's every bit as good as the Launch Center Pro we know and love.
Last week, we brought you the news that SwiftKey was sort of coming to iOS in the form of a note-taking app, and today, it's officially available to download. Because of Apple's stingy API, developers of core apps like SwiftKey Keyboard cannot get into the guts of iOS and deliver a true replacement key-tapping experience, but for those seeking a more efficient way to make notes on their iOS device, SwiftKey Note can now be grabbed from the iOS App Store. Details after the break!

Sure, after years in existence, the jailbreak scene has grown and expanded to the point where Cydia harbors thousands of useful, enhancing tweaks for iOS-lovers far and wide. But only an elite few have grown to become part of the furniture as fair as jailbreakers are concerned, and along with the likes of BiteSMS and the now somewhat unneeded SBSettings (thanks, Control Center), Springtomize has grown to become the ultimate all-in-one hub for those looking to mod and theme the look and feel of iOS. Now, the guy behind it, Filippo Bigarella, has revealed that an iOS 7-tailored Springtomize 3 is on the horizon, and if it can continue in the same vein as the two versions preceding, jailbreak lovers are in for quite a treat.
