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...

This documentary was recently aired on BBC. It features several insiders, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who tell extraordinary stories of the rise, fall, and rise again of Apple with Steve Jobs at its helm.
Chinese manufacturer K.O. Gadget has just revealed a cool new hack that will make the Apple logo on the back of your iPhone 4S glow, much like the logo on MacBooks. For $42, the company will send you the kit to perform the mod and claims that it can be done at home in less than five minutes.
The mod is actually pretty simple since you are only replacing the back panel of your iPhone. The back panel has a transparent Apple logo which lets light pass through it, but the trick is the "light strip" that you add to it...
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.
Viral videos have become a popular form of online advertising over the last few years. A company can potentially reach a large audience for minimal production costs if YouTube aficionados deem their videos interesting enough to spread the word.
And since no other company does advertising like Apple, it's no surprise that the iPhone-makers have found themselves on a list of the most viral tech videos of 2011. The year's most popular handset stars in one of the year's most popular tech clips.
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.
