Plugged In is the Perfect Tweak For Turning Your iPhone Into a Full-fledged Alarm Clock

by Jeff Benjamin on Dec 18, 2010

I know I’m not the only one that has tossed their dedicated alarm clock into the trash ever since the iPhone came out. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could plug your iPhone in, and your alarm clock app of preference automatically launched?

That’s the premise behind Plugged In, a jailbreak tweak that launches any app of your choice as soon as you plug it in. It’s obvious that Plugged In was designed with an alarm clock in mind, if not simply for the fact that I can’t think of much else that I would use it for… Read More

 

ScrollingBoard, The Ultimate Jailbreak Tweak for Your iPhone’s Dock

by Alex Heath on Dec 4, 2010

ScrollingBoard is a new Cydia tweak that let’s you have scrolling, unlimited icons in your dock and folders, and addons in your dock (like iPod controls). What makes ScrollingBoard so interesting is that not only does it bring a few new features to your jailbroken device, but it also replicates the functions of other popular jailbreak tweaks in the process.

ScrollingBoard’s main goal is to make your iOS device’s dock as useful as can be. The native arrangement of icons on your home screen’s pages is also available on your dock with ScrollingBoard. The addons and SBSettings integration that ScollingBoard brings to the dock also make this tweak especially worth the $1.50 price tag…

The Most Overpriced iPhone Dock Ever

by Guest Author on Sep 8, 2010

I once bought a pair of retro Air Jordan that were strikingly ugly but nonetheless a one of kind product. I thought by owning these I was cool. Needless to say I was 16 years old.

Touch My iPhone highlights a new iPhone dock that may earn bonus points for creativity but puts my old tennis shoes to shame. The iRetrophone Skyliner mimics your grandmother’s old stationary phone (the handset on the dock actually works) and offers the following description… Read More

 

Add Unlimited Icons to Your iPhone Dock With InfiniDock

by Sebastien on Jan 18, 2010

Forget about the 5-icon dock tweak… InfiniDock is a new application available in Cydia that lets you add an unlimited amount of apps in your dock and make them easily scrollable, just like you scroll through your pages of apps on your springboard.

InfiniDock was developped by Chpwn and just like the ProSwitcher app, I think this is a simple but powerful tweak that Apple will most likely look at and implement in iPhone OS 4.0.

I’m glad to see that there are some developers out there like Chpwn. New releases in Cydia have been pretty boring lately. There sure are a bunch of themes and wallpapers, but not so many useful apps.

I first heard about InfiniDock about a week ago but I didn’t give it a try until I read some of the comments made by a few of you on my post about how many apps you have in your iPhone dock.

If you haven’t tried it yet, launch Cydia and look for InfiniDock. You can download it from Cydia for $0.99. Well worth the money if you want my opinion.

Have you tried it yet? What do you think?

No dock included with iPhone 3G

by Sebastien on Jun 10, 2008

For $199 (or $299), you certainly can’t get as much as you do for $399. That’s probably what motivated Apple’s decision not to include a dock with purchase of an iPhone 3G.

When looking at what’s in the iPhone 3G box, you can see “Dock Connector to USB Cable”. It almost sound like a dock is included… but no! What’s included is the connector; this little plsatic thing that you can switch on your dock to fit whatever device you want (old iPod, new iPod, old iPhone, etc…).

I never used my dock anyways so I’m not really bummed out but I’m sure some of you will be.
