Apple's ongoing Education media event located at NYC's Guggenheim Museum is all about learning, and facing the challenges in the field of education today.
Apple unveiled some slides that paint a pretty startling picture about the state of the United States’ educational system when compared to other places in the world, citing overflowing class sizes and lack of enough textbooks, among other dire problems.

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.
