Sometimes people use Cydia just to browse through the store and see what is available. In a lot of circumstances, the information about a tweak or package doesn't really give away that much of a great deal, so the best thing to do is; install it on the device and play around with it to see what the functionality is and what the tweak or package offers. The new LockDate tweak doesn't come with a long list of information, but it is quite evident what it does.
Mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad are advanced pieces of kit with a number of powerful features, but one of the main reasons why they are so popular is the pure convenience which they provide in being able to accomplish certain tasks at an accelerated rate. Smartphone users generally tend to install a wide array of apps depending on their personal taste, but certain system settings and toggles are used consistently by most.
Tweaks that hook into the music-playing aspects of a jailbroken iOS device seem hot property at the minute, with a few hitting Cydia in the last day or so. PodControl is one a number of music-orientated tweaks that have landed in Cydia, with its sole purpose being; to give users a quicker, more efficient way of playing and flicking through their music library. By default, iOS provides music controls in the multitasking switcher tray which can be accessed by double pressing the Home button and then swiping through the views to get to the controls, not exactly quick access by any stretch of the imagination.
We all love owning and using our iDevices, probably a bit to much in some cases, but at the end of the day when the sun goes down there comes a point where we just want to slip under the covers and have an uninterrupted nights slumber. Depending on what apps you may have installed on your device, it could be set to push alerts for pretty much anything meaning that peaceful nights sleep could be well and truly thrown out of the window if you forget to flick that silent switch.
With the beautiful Retina display, the iPhone is a great little device for those who like to take and view photographs but aren't keen to shell out hundreds of dollars for a separate camera. We all know the iPhone comes with a built in camera as well as an accompanying Photos app that allows users to view, manipulate photos and create albums as they see fit. The app is a great starting point, but like so many other native iOS apps that come preinstalled on the device, it could do with a little more functionality.
Perhaps not the most exciting, but one of the most useful aspects of an iPhone or iPod touch in my opinion is the built-in functionality to display weather conditions for you local city using the default stock Weather app. iOS has always had a default Weather app from day one, which has remained relatively untouched with every new version of iOS which Apple releases.
Everyone loves a bit of privacy every now and then, and let's face it, I am pretty sure that everyone has given their cell phone number out to someone that they later regretted giving it to for one reason or another. You would expect, that in this advanced day and age when smartphones play such an increasingly important and prominent role in our everyday lives, we would have a native filtering option on the device, or at very least our networks would be able to provide such a service.
Apple makes a number of premium products, but it is mainly the iPhone and iPad that have stolen the limelight in recent years. Their smartphone and tablet range are clearly their most successful products in recent years, but one of their other media devices is starting to gain some traction now, thanks to recent hardware and software updates.
It seems like only yesterday that the jailbreak dream team dropped the good news by announcing the release of an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 that would bring liberation and freedom to those who were using an iPhone 4S or iPad 2 powered by Apple's A5 chip. It was in fact over eight weeks ago and although it was a huge accomplishment by all involved to release the Absinthe jailbreak, the community is once again focusing all eyes on the development teams hoping for a jailbreak which covers iOS 5.1.
Not a lot of people may know this, but there are actually a large number of people who actually use the Twitter micro-blogging service purely to follow the activity of others, with no intention of ever sharing their own thoughts or knowledge with the world. Plenty of apps exists across multiple platforms which give access to Twitter, but they all require that the user must be a registered member of Twitter. The website is an alternative, where a user can simply punch in the desired @username and view their tweets, but this is done on a strictly individual basis and therefore isn't very time effective.
