This past week saw the release of some awesome tweaks like MyAssistant — a Siri tweak that adds a great amount of new functionality to Siri. There was also RingerX VIP, the ringer and vibrate customization utility, along with Zeppelin — the custom carrier logo tweak.

ColoredKnob is a tweak that we covered in the past, and it was met with a fairly warm reception. We really liked it; in fact, the only thing holding us back from absolutely loving it was the limited amount of colors available in the initial release.
Apparently the developer heard our cries, because ColoredKnob has just been updated with a ton of new colors, making it much more appealing that it was before...
The ability to split up the iPad's keyboard is one of my favorite lesser-known features in iOS. I don't use it all the time. But it really comes in handy when I need to rattle off an email or conjure up other large bodies of text.
Apple obviously put a lot of thought into getting the split keyboard just the right size for its tablet, and it shows. In fact, there are even some elements of the keyboard that you can't see. Did you know there are hidden keys on the iPad split keyboard?
If you use the iPod app on your iOS device as much as I do, then you're going to love the new jailbreak tweak: MusicBanners. The tweak, made by popular developer Ryan Petrich, brings your music to iOS 5's notification system.
So what does it do? Essentially, MusicBanners sends you a notification every time a new track comes up on your iPod app. This means that you receive a notification with the track's name, album and cover art after every song change...
A few months after Apple released iOS 5 to the public last year, a major bug was found in the software's new iMessage application. Several users reported that their iMessage accounts continued to remain active after wiping their devices.
Gizmodo added fuel to the fire yesterday when it published several images of strange iMessage conversations it was receiving on an iPhone after visiting an Apple Store for tech support. Apparently, when a Genius inserted his personal SIM card into the phone to test the device, the handset locked on to his iMessage account...
Did he say "Everyday I'm awesome, awesome, awesome," or "Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling?" If you often ask questions like that, then perhaps some lyrics to your favorite songs might help.
WeeLyrics makes it easy by placing lyrics right in iOS 5's Notification Center...
There are already tons of different ways you can invoke the Twitter panel in iOS 5, and this is just one of the latest methods for doing so.
QuickTweet is a Notification Center shortcut for iOS 5 that places a quick link to the compose tweet function in the bottom left-hand corner. This could be the perfect companion to IntelliScreenX's built-in Messages+ SMS shortcut, because it's situated directly across from it...
Do you have an ongoing issue with accidentally launching the Lock Screen camera in iOS 5? If so, then perhaps this is the jailbreak tweak for you.
LockscreenSureCam is a tweak that prompts you before launching the Camera on your Lock Screen. I don't know anyone who's ever had a problem with this, but I'm sure someone is out there that does. If that's you, then check inside for a brief video walkthrough.
Every few months there seems to be a jailbreak tweak that's released to cater to the James Bond wannabes out there, and SlyCam is the latest addition to the cache.
SlyCam allows one to covertly snap photos directly from iOS 5's Notification Center. Check out our video coverage of the jailbreak tweak inside...
Besides perhaps Twitter, Google Trends are a good way to gauge what's hot on the web, and now there's a pint-sized version for iPhone owners.
GTrends for Notification Center is a jailbreak widget that conveniently places a trending stock ticker into Notification Center.
You can even launch any of the top 20 trending topics directly from the widget, and use your own custom search queries.
GTrends is an interesting tool that allows you to easily keep your fingers on the pulse of the web...
Lorem is tweak that brings swipe to dismiss functionality to Notification Center.
It is the companion to Ipsum, a tweak that brings swipe to dismiss functionality to Lock Screen notifications.
Both are great ways to alternatively dismiss the notifications you receive, as you'll see from our coverage inside...
It was only a matter of time, but the inevitable has finally happened. Even though you could already use this workaround to send status updates to Twitter using Siri, you can now tweet with Siri courtesy of an upcoming jailbreak tweak.
The yet to be named tweak is making its way around the blogosphere, and should be released to the public in the very near future.
We're pretty impressed by how accurate tweeting with Siri actually is, but that should be expected since Siri is very precise when it comes to dictation.
Check out our hands on video as we tweet with Siri inside...
