Have a broken Home button, or just to lazy to use it? If so, then you may want to give TapDeWiggle a shot.
TapDeWiggle is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to exit the iPhone's edit mode — a.k.a. "wiggle mode" — by tapping any blank spot on your Home screen.

There's no outrunning the rumor-mill, especially when the world is expecting a new iPhone or iPad just around the corner. While we're barely coming down after the whole iPhone 5 craziness that surrounded the iPhone 4S release, it's fair to say that we are now well and truly in iPad-silly season.
That said, we never expected to hear something like this report. According to the infamous Digitimes, Apple could be set to bring an iPad 3 to market as soon as March, only to follow that up with the release of the iPad 4 seven months later in October.
Citing component suppliers, Digitimes believes that the two-pronged attack is designed to stave off the impending influx of both new Android tablets and the release of Windows 8 machines later in the year.
Until last year, G-Form was known for its extreme sports protective gear (elbow/knee pads). Then it introduced the Extreme Sleeve case for iPad, and it is now known for making one of the most durable tablet cases around.
The company has gone through great lengths to demonstrate the Sleeve's toughness, dropping a bowling ball on an iPad wrapped in the case, and even hurling one from an airplane. And now it's taken things to a whole new level...
Aside from housing the same display as its year-old predecessor, most of the criticism the iPad 2 received was aimed at its cameras. And between its VGA-quality front-facing sensor and dismal rear shooter, it was well-warranted.
But it looks like things will be different this time around. The latest iPad 3 rumor suggests that Apple's upcoming tablet will feature some major camera upgrades, including a front camera capable of FaceTime HD, and more...
Multiple patent applications by Apple were published by the US Patent and Trademark Office this morning. Three of the inventions revolve around Thunderbolt technology, and one in particular stands out: iOS device support.
Apple introduced Thunderbolt, an I/O platform that transfers data 20x faster than USB 2.0, last year in both its desktop and laptop computer lines. And now it looks like it could be bringing the tech to its popular mobile products...
If you've been paying attention to the jailbreak scene lately, then you've heard the warnings about preparing for Apple's next counter move against jailbreakers. The question is this: have you heeded it?
It's imperative that you update to iOS 5.0.1 now and save your SHSH blobs across all devices, including the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. That way, you can always downgrade to iOS 5.0.1 later, which means you will always have access to an untethered jailbreak.
We'll show you how to create a firmware file for your A4 devices that can always be jailbroken. We'll also tell you what to do to preserve the jailbreakability of your A5 devices as well. If you haven't done this yet, now is the time to act...
Apple keeps hitting new app download milestones, with the latest number being all about the iPad and its huge popularity since its initial introduction in early 2010.
Since Apple made the iPad available to purchase, a massive 3 billion apps have been downloaded from Apple's App Store for the tablet. To put that into some kind of perspective, it took the equally-as-popular iPhone a whole six months longer to reach the same milestone after the App Store's opening in 2008.
The news comes as rumors begin to circulate about what Apple could be working on for the next-generation iPad...

It's a pointless video, but you can only admit it's pretty funny!
We've all been in the position where you need to let someone onto your own Wi-Fi network, but you need to give them your password so they can enter it into their smartphone, tablet, or computer. It's a pain, and if you're password is a complex one, the whole process is just something you would rather avoid.
A new web app called QuickWiFi allows you to set up a profile and a customizable URL that will allow other users to install a profile on their iOS device that will grant them access to your Wi-Fi network. You don't need to manually enter anything, and it means that the user will never actually see your password.
It's quick and easy, not to mention secure — assuming you're happy to hand your login details over to the web app.
Taiwanese publication Digitimes is reporting again today that Apple is planning two iPad models, with the low-end version starting at only $299. Both iPads will reportedly boast the new A6 processor and will be differentiated by their screen resolutions.
Sources from Apple's supply chain have claimed that there will be two versions of the new iPad, one targeting the high-end segment and the other the mid-range. Digitimes Research believe the two new iPad models will both be equipped the A6 processor with high-end model coming with a high resolution panel (2048x1536) and the mid-tier model featuring the same grade of panel as iPad 2 (1024x768).
In my opinion, it makes more sense for Apple to drop the price of the current iPad 2 to $299 and introduce the next-generation model at $499. The idea of Apple releasing two new iPads at once seems a little ridiculous.
It's a busy and exciting time for the jailbreak community. In the last couple of weeks we've seen the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak for A4-based devices go live in the form of RedSn0w, PwnageTool, and The Chronic Dev Team's Corona tool. Moments ago we announced that the security expert known as pod2g expects to drop the untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users next week.
Now is the time to update to Apple's latest firmware, iOS 5.0.1. Even if you rely on an UltraSn0w unlock, you should update as soon as possible before it's too late to get the untethered jailbreak on 5.0.1.
If you can't wait for the rumored official iPad version of Microsoft's popular Office suite, then you may be in luck. CloudOn's app description suggests that the free iPad app will allow users to create and edit Word, Excel, and Powerpoint documents on the device via a cloud-based interface and Dropbox integration.
For a free app, being able to create and edit Microsoft Office documents on an iPad sounds pretty useful, assuming you're based in the United States. The app is only available in the US App Store, presumably while CloudOn monitors its cloud systems.
