The Deck teaser video with a simulator preview was nice, but nothing does it justice like a little hands-on action.
A few minutes ago I was able to go one-on-one with the upcoming Deck jailbreak tweak from SBCoders.
Is it as smooth as the initial preview video? You betcha.
Deck is an upcoming jailbreak tweak from SBCoders that is currently in beta testing. It promises to lend added functionality to your SpringBoard by adding an App switcher-esque side bar that's accessible by swiping.
Inside the "hotbar" you'll gain access to a multitude of customizable functions, and shortcuts. It looks like a great compliment to the currently existing App switcher.
SBCoders has released a teaser video that shows Deck in action, check inside to have a look...
DataMonitor is a free tweak that puts nearly every technical facet about your device right at your fingertips.
That's not hyperbole, I've never seen a jailbreak app so thorough in providing technical information about an iOS device before.
Best of all it's free and available for download now...
Yesterday we told you how to dismiss Siri with your voice. Today, we're going to show you how to dismiss Siri with a Swipe.
SwipeSiri is a free jailbreak tweak available for Siri enabled devices that allows you to do just that.

It looks as if things are becoming quite crowded and heated in the "virtual assistant" space.
A recent TechCrunch report says that Apple is planning to remove Evi from the App Store because it violates Apple's terms and conditions.
The violation? Evi is too similar to Siri...
SiriBoard is a simple jailbreak tweak that places a shortcut to Siri directly on your iPhone's SpringBoard.
This will allow you to launch Siri from any Home screen page, or even place the shortcut into your dock or in a folder.
Personally, I think holding the Home button is the most efficient way to launch Siri, but perhaps you feel otherwise?

As you may have heard, Adobe's Photoshop Touch has been released officially for the iPad 2, and we're happy to report that it looks very promising judging from our initial walkthrough.
This is definitely one of the, if not the deepest photo editing apps we've ever used on a tablet, and I think the majority of Adobe fans and Photoshop users in general will be pleasantly surprised with the interface and design.
Photoshop Touch is iPad 2 only, and can be purchased from the App Store for $9.99. Take a look and tell us what you think.
With everything going the route of iOS 5's Notification Center, we're seeing less and less tweaks that use Activator as a means for invoking, but FastStatus bucks that trend.
In fact, FastStatus' ability to retain full compatibility with iOS 4 is one of the feathers in its cap.
This is a tweak that allows you to send email, text messages, and tweets from anywhere using a user assigned Activator action.
Check out our video walkthrough of FastStatus in action inside...
Want a quick and easy way to dismiss Siri? Then try the aptly named DismissSiri — a jailbreak tweak that makes Siri scram with a few simple voice commands.
As long as you don't set your expectations to high, and you don't have a tweak like MyAssistant, which makes DismissSiri redundant, then you may enjoy the functionality that this tweak has to offer...
MusicGestures is a jailbreak tweak that lends the ability to control the stock Music app with gestures instead of button presses. There are a total of 6 actions (7 if you count disabled as an action) that you can assign to any number of gestures.
The gestures can be used to skip, play, pause, and gather info on both the album cover view, and the individual track view.
It's not the deepest tweak in the shed, but the simplicity of MusicGestures makes it worth a look...
Last month we showed you a way to fix your iDevice's white app icons after jailbreaking, but did you know that you can perform a similar fix with Springtomize 2?
Since most jailbreakers probably already have Springtomize 2 running on their device's, this is a very convenient method for cleaning up those annoying white app icons that rear their ugly heads post jailbreak.
Check inside for the full how-to...

A few weeks ago we brought you info on how to get the iOS 86 WinterBoard theme for the iPhone.
I think it's safe to say that the reaction to the theme was mixed, but perhaps that may change once you see it in action.
iOS 86 brings you a cell shaded looking theme similar to the classic Dreamcast game Jet Set Radio. Be sure to check out our previous coverage on iOS 86 if you're interested in trying it yourself.
