Yes, we're excited that the iPhone 4S finally has a jailbreak, but let's not forget the iPad 2! Yes, the iPad 2, along with the iPhone 4S benefited from the release of the A5 jailbreak.

In general, App Store updates are a good thing; it shows that the developers are continuing to support their apps, squashing bugs, etc.
But if you have tons of App Store apps like I do, the constant updates can be more of an annoyance. What to do?

While we're on the subject of Cover Flow dock tweaks, let us not forget that Springtomize 2 has featured a similar tweak since its inception. True, it's not exactly like Adam Bell's Overflow tweak, but if you already own Springtomize 2 you might as well give it a shot.
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.
If you're looking for one of the most authentic representations of Cover Flow for your iOS device's dock, then look no further than Overflow — a tweak that lends a Cover Flow effect to existing jailbreak tweaks like Infinidock.
It's an impressive looking effect, and can be had if you have a jailbroken iPhone and about $2.00 to spare. Check inside as we take it for a, ahem...spin...

Apple has always stated that the Apple TV is more of a "hobby" device than a mainstream one, as its popularity level isn't even on the radar compared to hits like the iPhone, iPad or even iPod touch.
Still, there are many, many benefits to owning an Apple TV. There's iTunes movies and TV shows, Netflix streaming, access to NBA and NHL games, and iTunes match among other features.
But if you really want to reap the full rewards of owning Apple's marvelous $99 wonder box, you need to jailbreak it.
Why jailbreak the Apple TV? We'll touch on some of the major benefits that comes from doing so.

Thankfully, it looks like the days of furiously refreshing Cydia are numbered...
