Jeff told you about this awesome lock screen tweak on Sunday and I’m happy to report that the Unfold jailbreak tweak is now available for download. It was born out of Anton Kudin’s “fold to unlock” concept for the iPhone which immediately captured attention of the jailbreak community.

Late last month, Apple finally put the tickets for its highly-anticipated WWDC event up for sale. But within two hours, the tickets were gone, leaving hundreds of developers out to dry. Luckily, there’s another option.

Over the years there has been no shortage of proclaimed Cydia replacements, alternatives, and supplements.
Lima is the latest such purported alternative, but it has one unique thing going for it that makes it a bit different from the others — it’s entirely browser based.
Is Lima a legitimate threat to Cydia’s dominance?
I’ve had the privilege to go hands-on with a beta copy, and I’d like to share some of the things that I found with you.
