To some, having periodicals in one place and books in another place can seem redundant. If you're in this camp, then Bookstand may be something that makes sense.
Bookstand is a jailbreak tweak that places iBooks content into Newsstand, letting you access all of your reading content in one convenient place.
Springtomize 2 — the ridiculously in-depth Springboard tweak package — was updated today to include native iPad support among other things.
This means that you can now run it in full screen mode without having to enable the iPad's 2x mode for iPhone apps.
It also means that it gains a few new iPad centric features along the way. Check out our video walkthrough of the new Springtomize 2 in action...

It's been a good day for Cydia releases. Not long after RingerX VIP was released comes MyAssistant (formerly called MySiri). MyAssistant brings a gang of new customization options to Siri; everything from custom conversations to toggles, Activator events, and more.
MyAssistant is now available on Cydia's BigBoss repo for $0.99, which is fairly cheap considering all of the options. Be sure to read our full walkthrough of the tweak and give it a go.

A couple of days ago we provided you with an in-depth preview of RingerX VIP, the jailbreak tweak that lends fine grain control over your iPhone's vibrate and ringing behaviors. It's now available for download on Cydia's BigBoss repo. If you haven't seen our preview, be sure to check it out.
Did he say "Everyday I'm awesome, awesome, awesome," or "Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling?" If you often ask questions like that, then perhaps some lyrics to your favorite songs might help.
WeeLyrics makes it easy by placing lyrics right in iOS 5's Notification Center...
Don't you just hate it when you miss an important call because you forgot to turn your iPhone's mute switch off? Or what about that one annoying person that always calls at 3 in the morning? Wouldn't it be nice if you could forever silence their calls?
With RingerX VIP, all of these scenarios feature easy solutions.

There are already tons of different ways you can invoke the Twitter panel in iOS 5, and this is just one of the latest methods for doing so.
QuickTweet is a Notification Center shortcut for iOS 5 that places a quick link to the compose tweet function in the bottom left-hand corner. This could be the perfect companion to IntelliScreenX's built-in Messages+ SMS shortcut, because it's situated directly across from it...
Animated Boot logos can once again be acquired on the latest iOS jailbreaks using a tool from developer iH8sn0w simply called animate fix.
For example, if you're an iPhone 4S jailbreaker, all you have to do is download and install the animate fix package, select animated logo from the BootLogo settings panel, and restart your device.
This is a great way to add even more customization to your iDevice, as you can probably gauge from the screenshots and video...
I've never been a huge fan of carriers advertising themselves by means of the carrier logo in my iPhone's status bar. For that reason I usually remove them with a tweak like CleanStatus or Springtomize 2.
But Zeppelin — a new jailbreak tweak that just appeared on Cydia — has me considering carrier logos again...
If you're looking to customize Siri on your jailbroken iDevice, then there are already a few options available on Cydia.
AssistantExtensions, and SiriToggles are perhaps two of the best examples of Siri customization on a jailbroken device, but there's one in the works that's looking like a winner as well.
Indeed, MySiri — an upcoming Siri tweak — promises to add a ridiculous amount of end-user control to the Siri interface.
Co-developers Andrea Oliva & Akhil Tolani provided us with a sneak peak of the upcoming tweak. Check inside as we give it the full video preview...
Last week's jailbreak theme was overwhelmingly Siri. Apple's mobile assistant finally started to gain some useful jailbreak tweaks thanks to the iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak. We also covered how to get XBMC on your iPhone and other portable iOS devices to really open up its media capabilities.

HomePlayer is a jailbreak tweak that brings a fully focused audio experience to your SpringBoard. It interfaces directly with the Music app to bring a full screen music playing session to the Home Screen.
When I say "fully focused" I truly mean it, as the app completely disables the Home button's functionality to prevent users from exiting the interface.
It's an interesting concept, although it can be a bit buggy at times. In the end it's an obvious 1.0 tweak that can go as far as its developers decide to take it...
