In general, App Store updates are a good thing; it shows that the developers are continuing to support their apps, squashing bugs, etc.
But if you have tons of App Store apps like I do, the constant updates can be more of an annoyance. What to do?
If your device is jailbroken and running iOS 5, check out Update Hider for iOS 5.
Although we've heard conflicting rumors over the last few months regarding Apple's next tablet, a majority of them seem to agree on one thing: appearance. The consensus is that the iPad 3 will look extremely similar to its predecessor, albeit a bit thicker.
Case manufacturers even seem to be fairly confident in the gossip, as they're already starting to churn out iPad 3 covers that fall in line with the chatter. But if the rumor mill has taught us anything in the past, it's that the case manufacturers don't always get it right...

While we're on the subject of Cover Flow dock tweaks, let us not forget that Springtomize 2 has featured a similar tweak since its inception. True, it's not exactly like Adam Bell's Overflow tweak, but if you already own Springtomize 2 you might as well give it a shot.
Springtomize 2 comes in at $2.99 on the Cydia store, but chances are you already have it seeing as it customizes your device like no other tweak in existence. We've taken the liberty to highlight Springtomize's Cover Flow implementation on video, so be sure to have a look.
If you're looking for one of the most authentic representations of Cover Flow for your iOS device's dock, then look no further than Overflow — a tweak that lends a Cover Flow effect to existing jailbreak tweaks like Infinidock.
It's an impressive looking effect, and can be had if you have a jailbroken iPhone and about $2.00 to spare. Check inside as we take it for a, ahem...spin...

Apple has already sold more than 40 million iPads since the tablet was introduced in 2010, but may be on pace to more than double that amount by the end of 2012. According to analyst Shaw Wu for Sterne Agee, a brokerage firm, Apple is expected to sell at least 48 million iPads in 2012.
In a note to investors, Wu referred to this number as a "conservative estimate," which means that sales of the tablet could easily surpass the 50 million mark and perhaps go even higher before the year is over. And there's many reasons why...
