Quickpick: Set Shortcuts in Notification Center Without Jailbreaking

Since Apple released iOS 5, users have been running out of reasons to jailbreak their devices. The software update replaced several tweaks and utilities that were only available to jailbreakers in previous versions of iOS.

So, why are people still jailbreaking iOS 5? A major reason is for the ability to customize the Notification Center with widgets and system shortcuts. But you may not even have to jailbreak for that anymore, thanks to a new app called Quickpick.

AppsCenter: Launch Apps Directly From iOS 5’s Notification Center

It's been a little over 24 hours since iOS 5 was released, and already, the jailbreak devs are putting in work. Case in point: AppsCenter, from jailbreak developer, Filippo Bigarella.

AppsCenter is a jailbreak widget that allows you to launch apps directly from Notification Center. In fact, this can ultimately become your de facto method for launching apps.
