It's sort of like putting a huge loud muffler on your car. Whatever makes you feel faster.
Indeed, ClockWind makes things seem faster, because it speeds up the UIKit animations on the iPhone. It seems fast, but it also feels disconcerting, if you ask me.
Here's a hint: your iPhone isn't any "faster" than it was prior to installing this tweak...
Who doesn't love the sound of a good typewriter? There's something about the keys, something about the sound, that's just soothing to the ear.
Relive yesteryear thanks to iTypeWriter — a jailbreak tweak that allows you to enable both haptic feedback and classic typewriter sounds (ding!) for $0.99 on Cydia.
BetterCenter is a simple new iPad jailbreak tweak, which allows you to adjust the length of the Notification Center pane, both in landscape mode, and in portrait mode.
Extending BetterCenter's slider bars to their maximum extent, results in a full length Notification Center on the iPad, and we love the look of it.
Take a look at our video walkthrough of BetterCenter in action...
The original Dashboard X was a fairly monumental tweak for jailbroken iOS devices, because it brought true widgets to the iPhone and iPad's Home screen.
Dashboard X 2.0, the follow up to the hit release, is aiming to build on all of the things the original Dashboard X did well, while fixing the things it didn't do so well.
This time around you can resize widgets using pinch gestures, and you can position widgets on both portrait and landscape orientations independently of one another.
Simply put, this is an awesome follow up to an already great jailbreak tweak. Check inside for the full video walkthrough...
This is pretty interesting: Qantas, an Australian airline, is now handing out iPads to passengers on all of its B767 airliners. The tablet is being used to provide an in-flight entertainment service, called QStreaming, which features more than 200 hours of on-demand content.
QStreaming is free, and offered to all Qantas Business and Economy class customers. Here's a brief overview of the new service:
Developers are doing some downright amazing things with HTML5 as a late, and Sun is just the latest example of the ongoing trend.
First noted by 9to5 Mac, Sun is an HTML5 based web app for weather forecasts. It can handle up to 4 different cities at once, including a city based on your current location.
For fans of Clear — the popular task app for the iPhone, you'll feel immediately at home with Sun, because it too relies on simple gestures for navigation.
Needless to say, I came away mighty impressed with Sun. I've always said that one way to tell a good web app is if you can't tell it's a web app. With Sun, you'd be hard pressed to do so...
As you may have heard, Mozilla has released a test version of Firefox OS that anyone can test out on their local Mac or PC.
I decided to go ahead and take it for a test drive, and although I probably definitely didn't have everything properly configured and optimized, I came away with a decent impression of how the upcoming mobile OS is designed.
Check inside for our brief video hands-on with the Firefox OS test software...

NotiPad — the Growl inspired tweak for the iPad — has just appeared on Cydia's BigBoss repo for $1.00. The iPad exclusive tweak replaces the standard banner notifications in favor of Growl styled pop up notifications.
There are a variety of different options built in with NotiPad, including the ability to alter the animations, and switch the side of the iPad's screen that the notifications appear on.

This is pretty cool: inventors Noah Dentzel and Adam Miller have finally come up with a solution to the problem of having to lug around a spare iPhone cable.
The ChargeCard works just like your average 30-pin USB cable — it will charge your device and transfer data — but it's compact enough to fit in your wallet...
Now that Google Chrome has been out for a while on iOS, it's a good time to sit back and reevaluate its value. Should you ditch Safari for Chrome? Is Chrome good for jailbreakers? How do you get more out of Chrome?
Inside we'll take a look at various ways that you can make your Google Chrome experience more rewarding. Even if you're not a jailbreaker there are plenty of ways you can still benefit...
Google unveiled the Nexus 7 last month to much fanfare. And although its price and screen size don't really line up with the latest iPad, many reviewers are still using Apple's tablet as a point of reference.
You've probably already seen all of the speed and performance comparisons between the two slates, but what about durability? That's right it's drop test time. Nexus 7 versus the iPad, round one, fight!
Yesterday we brought you a preview of NotiPad, an upcoming jailbreak tweak that enables Growl inspired notifications on the iPad. Although NotiPad looks promising, it wasn't without a few quirks in my testing, and it will also cost $1.00.
Another developer, undoubtedly inspired by what he saw, has created a new tweak that mimics many of the functions present in NotiPad, and he will be releasing his tweak for free. He's calling his tweak Banners+, and we've taken it for a spin on video...
