Ever since we first saw the sneak preview of Ryan Petrich's CydiaBulletin, we've wanted something like it.
Now it looks like having notifications for Cydia updates is finally a reality, even if it's not exactly as Petrich had envisioned.
Aptdate is a new jailbreak tweak that will be soon available on Cydia, which provides banner notifications to alert you when there are updates in Cydia.
We've given it a spin on video, check out our walkthrough inside...
The new iPad. Two generations from the somewhat enigmatic, yet overwhelmingly successful debut, Apple’s latest tablet is firing on all cylinders.
No longer is there a question as to whether such a device has a place in people’s day to day lives, it’s now a question of how many such devices are necessary to have for one household.
Indeed, the iPad is about as mainstream as mainstream gets, only a few years removed from many pundits, including myself, questioning its viability.
The truth is that maybe only a handful of people knew how insanely successful Apple’s tablet would be, but now everyone but the most blinded of opposers is a believer. Even if you don’t own an Apple device, you’re compelled to give credit where credit is due...
Although the whole Chuck Norris Facts meme has ran its course, apparantly there is a jailbreak developer that doesn't want to let it die.
Chuck Norris Facts for Chatbot is an AssistantExtensions plugin that will spout off Chuck Norris "facts" faster than Chuck Norris can roundhouse kick a saber-toothed tiger...
DockHide is a recently released jailbreak tweak that enables you to hide the dock on your iPhone's Home screen.
Along with outright hiding the dock, there's also a provision to stretch out the remaining icon spacing to fill the void from the missing dock.
All of this is accomplished by means of a simple Activator action that you can configure via the tweak's settings panel.
Check out our video walkthrough of DockHide inside...

Earlier we reported that a new jailbreak tweak was on its way to Cydia to enable push notifications in Sparrow. That tweak has finally touched down on Cydia's BigBoss repo for free, and we've taken it for a thorough spin.
Do the push notifications make Sparrow a legitimate Mail app replacement, despite the flaws that we uncovered in our previous video review?
Check out our video walkthrough of Sparrow Push for the answer.
The big news last week was of course the new iPad and Apple TV launches. For that reason, we supplemented our normal deluge of jailbreak videos with some iPad and Apple TV unboxings, comparisons, and the like. But that's not to say that there weren't some striking jailbreak videos created last week, because there were.

One of the best things about choosing a Verizon flavored iPad over its AT&T counterpart is the fact that Verizon makes tethering your data free.
Right out of the box you can start tethering your iPad's fast LTE connection to another iPad, iPhone, Mac, PC, whatever.
Inside we'll take a look at how to setup the personal hotspot feature on your new iPad, along with a little test drive...
Which one boots up faster? The answer to this question is pretty obvious if you take into consideration that the new iPad has more technical resources at its disposal than its predecessor.
While the iPad 2 is certainly no slouch in the performance department, the new iPad — as expected — defeated it on boot up tests every time.

As if one jailbreak wasn't enough, now there has been confirmation that not one, not two, but three different 3rd generation iPad jailbreaks have been confirmed by hackers MuscleNerd, i0nic, and chpwn respectively.
It's only a matter of time before one or more of these jailbreaks make their way to a toolset that the average person can utilize.
Chpwn is the latest hacker to join the new 3rd generation iPad jailbreak party, as he posted photos on Twitter confirming his success...
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is among the fastest turnaround time we've ever seen for a jailbreak for a brand new Apple device.
As we reported earlier, an untethered jailbreak has already been accomplished for the newly released iPad, and now we have the video proof.

In the months leading up to Apple's iPad event, there was a lot of speculation on whether or not the new tablet would include Siri. The feature has become quite popular since it debuted last October, so iPad integration made perfect sense.
Well, as you may know, Apple has foregone the digital assistant in its latest slate. But its Dictation component some how made the cut. Wondering how well the voice-to-text service works on the latest iDevice? Keep reading to find out...
We've managed to get our hands on the new iPad ahead of tomorrow's official launch, and we're taking advantage of it by publishing a wide range of hands-on videos and comparison tests with its predecessor.
Next up in our head-to-head matchup is the new iPad's Retina display vs. the screen of the iPad 2. Since the biggest selling point of the new tablet is obviously its screen, we wanted to see if it lived up to the hype...
