We've covered it in the past, but GridTab for Safari was recently updated with iOS 5 compatibility, so we thought it was a great time to bring you a video walkthrough of this exceptional tweak.
The purpose of GridTab is simple — to improve the tabbed browsing experience in Mobile Safari. Does it achieve its goal in doing so? Check inside for the answer...
It's not Siri. In fact, it's not even close. Yet, you still may find it interesting enough to give it a shot, especially if you're already a user of Voice Activator.
Automatic Dictation is essentially a meshing together of Voice Activator and Dragon Dictation. It basically allows you to (almost) use Dragon Dictation completely handsfree. It even allows you to send tweets directly from your dictation screen.
In the end, it's a very clunky semi-hand-free solution that works, but it's definitely no Siri...
It was one of the most hyped jailbreak tweaks of all time. It promised to do wonders for the way we share files between our iPhone's and other devices. In the end, it's almost completely forgotten, and hasn't even been updated to support iOS 5.
I'm of course talking about Celeste: the Bluetooth file sharing tweak that amassed amazing levels of hype and fanfare before arriving with the impact of a pin-drop in the middle of a grassy football field.
Check inside for my experience with one of the most overhyped jailbreak releases of all time...
The concept of Flashy Status is a good one: make it more evident when your flash might fire when snapping a photo with your iPhone's camera.
It accomplishes this by illuminating the 'On' button on the Camera app's flash settings with green. You can either make it a solid green, or a more visible flashing green.
And while I suppose this is nice to have, there's one key feature missing from this tweak that keeps it from being really useful...

iFile — you've most likely heard of it, but do you use it? If you've ever used a Mac, then you're familiar with Finder, and if you're familiar with Finder, than you're familiar with iFile.
iFile is essentially the iOS version of Finder, or Explorer for Windows. But for jailbreakers, there's a lot more here than meets the eye. Check inside for a video walkthrough accompanied by a good list of reasons as to why you should be using iFile.
TubeCenter — as its name might allude to — is a tweak that allows you to place a YouTube widget in iOS 5's Notification Center.
The only problem with this tweak, is that it lacked any keyboard support — at least it did during my initial testing.
Once it's updated with the proper keyboard support, fans of YouTube could find this tweak useful. Check out our synopsis inside...
AlbumArt on AppSwitcher, a new jailbreak tweak available for free on Cydia, isn't the most elegantly named tweak out there.
But where its name may seem complex, its function is as simple as it gets. AlbumArt on AppSwitcher replaces the music icon that resides in your App Switcher with the album art of the tunes playing in your Music app.
Check inside for a video walkthrough of it in action.
If you're searching for some additional control over your iPhone's wallpaper, then WAlpha is available to help.
No, it has nothing to do with Wolfram Alpha, I too thought the same thing and was a bit disappointed when I found out otherwise. Instead, WAlpha stands for Wallpaper Alpha, and it does one thing and one thing only: allows you to adjust the alpha settings for the wallpaper on your Home screen and Lock screen.
Interested in customizing your App Switcher? What about completely removing certain stock features, like AirPlay and music controls?
With SwitcherLoader — a new jailbreak tweak available on Cydia — it's all possible, and then some.
SwitcherLoader is a free tweak available for iOS 4.2 devices and above. Check inside for a full video explanation of what this tweak brings to the table.
It seems like it's been done a million times before, so why not a million and one? Yes, Slider Enhancer is a new jailbreak tweak that brings custom text to iOS' iconic "Slide to Unlock" bar.
Tweaks like Springtomize 2 and others already have such functions built in, but if you're looking for a standalone app that's free, Slider Enhancer could be exactly what you need...
NewTabSearch is a well thought-out jailbreak tweak that forces Mobile Safari to open a new tab for each new search that's performed via the bult-in search box.
It's even smart enough to know not to open a new tab when you perform the same search. Check inside for a full video synopsis of NewTabSearch...
