Quickly switching between pages and apps via Notification Center is now possible, and WeeSpaces is the jailbreak widget that makes it so.
WeeSpaces is a widget that places links to all of your running apps and SpringBoard pages directly in Notification Center.

The built in dictionary is probably one of my favorite new features in iOS 5. It's so incredibly handy, and it can be used across any app at any time.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could search Google in the same way? Well now you can, thanks to DictGoogle — a new tweak that integrates seamlessly with iOS 5's built in dictionary...
WeeSearch is a recently released Notification Center jailbreak widget for iOS 5, which allows for YouTube, Google, and Wikipedia searches right from the convenience of Notification Center.
It's free, and it works to a certain extent, but it's obvious that the widget was rushed in its development. It's missing a few fundamental features, and not everything works as expected.
Check inside for a full rundown on what's good and bad about WeeSearch...
You've always been able to name your iDevice in iTunes by plugging it in and clicking on its name in the sidebar to edit. With the introduction of iOS 5 and the PC-free mentality, you don't need to do that anymore.
Apple has made it even simpler to rename your device by letting you do it directly from your iPhone, iPod, or iPad...
Here's a pretty useful little iOS tweak, especially if you've got kids who like to go tapping icons on your iPhone, with little regard for your saved game progress or super-important work document you've been editing.
Just as AppLocker's name might suggest, this $0.99 tweak adds a new pane to Settings.app, in which a password lock can be added to all your iOS applications, meaning they won't launch unless you know the special word.
That's all fine and dandy, but AppLocker goes one step further than that...
BigBoss has pushed an update to the semitethered jailbreak that brings multiple bug fixes and speed improvements. Version 0.7.9 of SemiTether is available in Cydia now for folks on iOS 5 that have jailbroken with a tool like RedSn0w.
The SemiTether jailbreak is being improved to make it a more viable contender to a full untethered jailbreak. BigBoss is working with saurik to improve his jailbreak alongside a mobile substrate Cydia update.
As is always the case when a new release of iOS comes out, jailbreaking can cause a few weird and wonderful things to happen with certain apps.
One such oddity is the way jailbroken iOS 5 devices seem unable to run Apple's iBooks app, with tapping the icon resulting in an immediate crash.
With the new Steve Jobs biography going on sale, not having a working release of iBooks could be a potential deal breaker for many jailbreakers out there, but as this video shows, there may be light at the end of the tunnel...
Sometimes you write a post and you think, "Does this really need to be said?" In this case, it unfortunately does.
There have been recent reports that people have been scammed into paying for fake iOS 5 untethered jailbreaks. You should never, ever pay for a jailbreak... ever.
For those of you clamoring for an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5, you've now got a great compromise to hold you over — SemiTether.
As we reported, SemiTether is a new jailbreak tweak that will allow you to get closest to an iOS 5 untethered jailbreak without actually being an untethered jailbreak.
Inside, we'll show you exactly what you need to do to take advantage of this remarkable little tool. If your iOS 5 installation is jailbroken, you don't want to miss this!
What's the next best thing to an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5? A Semitethered Jailbreak of course!
Just a few minutes ago BigBoss released Semitethered Jailbreak, a new Cydia package that lets you reboot your iOS 5 jailbroken iPhone at will while away from your computer!
It's not without it's caveats, but it's a whole lot better than a normal tethered jailbreak. Details inside...
Notice I said favorite RSS feed, and not feeds. Yes, RSSWidget works great, but it's ridiculously restrictive when it comes to the number of feeds you can have.
In fact, you can only have one feed. Besides that obvious limitation, RSSWidget is a decent little Notification Center jailbreak widget. Check inside as we take it for a spin on video...
Earlier in the month we warned you that updating to iOS 5 on your original iPad would remove the device's multi-touch gestures. These gestures were never an official iOS feature, but they were baked into previous versions of the mobile software.
The feature allows users to swipe between apps, reveal the multitask bar, and access the home screen — all with on-screen gestures. Needless to say, some folks were upset when this option disappeared. But don't worry, we know how to get it back...
