Here is an interesting tweak for jailbroken iPhones. Parallax is a new jailbreak app that allows you to add a panoramic widescreen wallpaper to your iPhone springboard. Once set up, you can flick through the panoramic image simply by scrolling left and right.
Simply select a widescreen wallpaper from Settings or Photos, and watch your background scroll behind your icons! The wallpaper scroll speed is configurable from Settings.
Watch the video below to Parallax it in action...
The same guys who recently brought us the FaceTime Haktivator app for jailbroken iPhones are back at it, this time with an app called FaceIt-3GS, which lets you have FaceTime on a jailbroken iPhone 3GS.
FaceIt-3GS is still in development as the developers are working the bugs out was just released in Cydia and the video below shows it working well. As you can see, it's not possible yet to use the camera of the iPhone 3GS but I assume it's just a matter of time until they figure out how to plug it in...

Last week we reported about a bug found in iOS 4.1 that was first revealed by fellow Australian and European iPhone users. The glitch, which happens during Daylight Saving Time (tonight for us in the US), causes your alarm clock to go off an hour late. That's because your iPhone alarm clock doesn't recognize the time change.
Apple is well aware of it, and to be honest with you, I expected them to release iOS 4.2 in time to fix this bug, but this apparently wasn't a priority for them. They did however provide a few steps to make sure your iPhone will wake you up on time if you have an alarm clock set...
I think this cartoon is pretty spot on. You know how we, iPhone users, look down on Blackberry and Android users. Android is for geeks and Blackberry is for businessmen.
Oh yeah, we've got all the reasons in the world to think that, but it's pretty funny to see how they, Android and Blackberry people, look at us...
After making a short apparition, SkyFire, the app that allows you to convert Flash content on your iPhone, was quickly pulled from the App Store by the company itself as their servers couldn't handle the load. It seems things are getting better now as SkyFire is now back in the App Store.
As TUAW's Steven Sande notes, you may not want to rush to the App Store to get SkyFire as the app is being released in "batches"...
The developer behind BrowserChanger and Action Menu Voice is working on a new app called Safari GridTab, which basically shows your opened Safari tabs in a grid.
It looks like it's much easier to navigate through the tabs this way. Safari GridTab is still in development but it will hopefully be released soon...
This one is an interesting find by our Engadget friends. Apparently some T-Mobile stores in the US are selling iPhone charging cables. What can that mean? Are they preparing for the T-Mobile iPhone? We've heard our share of rumors about that in the past.
Or maybe they're just trying to provide accessories for iPhone unlockers who make the move to T-Mobile? Your guess is as good as mine.
If you are an iPhone 3GS owner and feel left out because you can't record HD videos on your iPhone, then rejoice because the jailbreak community is taking care of you.
There is a new jailbreak app in Cydia called HD Video Enabler for 3GS. Just like its name suggests, this tweak will allow you to enable HD video recording on your iPhone 3GS...
When Cydia acquired Rock a couple months ago, Saurik acknowledged that Cydia was in great need of a facelift, and said that Chpwn was actually working on it to make it look better. Things aren't going as fast as we'd want them to, but there is still some progress made by Chpwn.
MuscleNerd tweeted this screenshot of the new Cydia earlier. That was pretty exciting until I saw this tweet from Chpwn who basically said it was all they had done on the new Cydia for the time being...
No, thank god no one stole my iPhone but I found this image deep in iDB's archives. While it's not new, I thought it was pretty funny so I decided to share it with you.
I don't know who came out with this idea so I can't give credit to him.
It took Apple 2 months to approve SkyFire but it only took them a few hours to pull the plug on this app that converts Flash content to HTML5. SkyFire was released this morning in the App Store but it's already been taken down, for unknown reason.
If you look for SkyFire in the App Store right now, you're probably going to get the same result as the screenshot above.
Why do you think SkyFire was taken down?
UPDATE: We now know why SkyFire is not available anymore...
