Since the iPhone is arguably the "luxury car" of smart phones, it's only right that an analog clock graces iOS 5's new Notification Center.
Sure enough, not long after iOS 5 was released to the public, ClockCenter shows up on Cydia...

The iPhone is easily the most recognized smartphone in the world. As most of you know, the iPhone 4S is well on its way to becoming the fastest selling consumer device in history. Not bad for only being in the business for 4 years.

Normally, I don't like to combine coverage of multiple jailbreak tweaks in a single post, but this go 'round, it was definitely appropriate.
BatteryCenter is a free iOS 5 Notification Center widget, which brings battery stats directly to iOS 5's convenient pull down menu. PowerCenter Pro is the upgraded version of BatteryCenter, and it features additional options not found in its free version.

Anyone that's been following our videos, knows that Springtomize was one of the most popular. Springtomize is the tweak that allows you to customize virtually every aspect of your iOS device, and that's literally no exaggeration.

Many people have bought an iPhone 4S already, but none of us have sent our iPhone to space. Thats exactly what a YouTube user by the name of "FinalCutKing" did. He purchased two iPhone 4s's on launch day, and put them in a helium balloon. He then sent them up, and waited patiently for them to fall safely back to Earth. While the iPhones were up there, they took some amazing footage of the Earth's atmosphere.
