Itching for a new way to perform Google searches? Well, sure, you could use Spotlight, but that's so 2009. iOS 5's new Notification Center is all the rage these days, and that's where StatusGoogle resides.
For a jailbreak widget, it really doesn't get any simple than this. Check out our video walkthrough inside...
If you purchased Delete Mail or Mark Read for your iDevice, you may have noticed that neither extension is compatible yet with the new Mail app in iOS 5. The iOS 5 update brings new mail management features to your device, but “Select All” is nowhere to be found.
Many of us with large email inboxes are very wary of manually selection multiple emails to apply Mail actions. Simply put, it is very disappointing that neither Mark Read or DeleteMail have received iOS 5 updates yet.
Thankfully, a new jailbreak tweak has been released to solve your massive message management woes. Most of Cydia's recent activity has been centered on compatibility updates, but some game-changing newcomers have been appearing in the updates. Enter AllMail...
Unless you've been living under a rock the past few months, you've no doubt caught wind of BBSettings, the so-called "SBSettings killer" for iOS 5's Notification Center.
True enough, it is a very beautiful widget, and its function is certainly promising, but can it take down the reigning king of all jailbreak apps?
Find out the answer to that question and more, as I go hands-on with BBSettings on video...
WhatsApp Messenger, a popular IM app, has gone free in the App Store. What makes WhatsApp different from other IM apps is that it is cross platform, meaning it works on Android, BlackBerry, and Nokia phones.
WhatsApp is currently free in the App Store for a limited time. This is because Apple took WhatsApp head on with iMessage in iOS 5...

As promised, the iPhone Dev Team released an update to the UltraSn0w unlock for iOS 5 today. This update allows users with unlockable basebands running iOS 5 to unlock their iPhone 3GS, or iPhone 4.
This version of UltraSn0w (1.2.4) doesn't add any new basebands to the compatibility list, but if you're running basebands 4.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04, or 06.15.00 on the iPhone 3GS, or baseband 01.59.00 on the iPhone 4, then you can unlock your device right now...
With the release of iOS 5, we've been asked by a bunch of Gevey unlockers if it was safe or not to update to the latest operating system.
Truth be told, I do not use the Gevey SIM unlock, so I wasn't really able to help until a user pointed out the obvious to me: it works as long as you preserve your baseband...
One of the cool new features of iOS 5 is that it allows you to bring up the Camera app directly from the lock screen. No need to unlock the phone, look for the Camera app and launch it, as you can now do that right from the lock screen now. This simple feature can save time if you want to take a picture right away.
I've been asked a few times today how to activate this feature, and even though most of you out there probably know how to use it, I figured it might be helpful for new iOS users...
Newsstand is a pre-made folder that provides iOS 5 users with an easy way to access digital subscriptions. But it's a bit annoying for the folks who don't use it, as its icon can't be placed in other folders. Luckily, there's a workaround.
There's a nice little tidbit floating around the web from The Coding Massacre regarding Newsstand. As it turns out, there's a small glitch in iOS that allows you to place the icon in a folder without the need to jailbreak...

Apple officially released iOS 5 yesterday, with several new features including, iCloud, iMessage, Notification Center, Reminders, Newsstand, Twitter integration, and much more. Since the release of the new iOS update, Apple servers have been getting smashed with the amount of people trying to download and install the new OS.
While many of you have reported troubles with updating to the new OS, we'd like to see just how many of you have upgraded, or haven't upgraded...
Apple has been battling against the jailbreak scene for nearly 4 years. Every time hackers find an exploit, Apple is right there to release a software update to patch it. But boot-level exploits, like GeoHot's Limera1n, are much harder to fix.
In fact, Limera1n continues to be used for iOS 5 jailbreaks on pre-A5 devices. So, Apple had to think outside the box with their latest mobile software update. They had to come up with something to try and slow down the hackers. And they did...
