If you've been jailbreaking for a while, you'll likely recognize the name Intelliborn. The group is responsible for popular jailbreak utilities like MyWi and My3G. Now the talented developers have a new jailbreak tweak in the oven for iOS 5 — and it's awesome.
The utility is called IntelliScreenX, and it sits in the new Notification Center found in the latest iOS update. No, it's not simply a widget. This could take the place of 10 widgets (and so much more). And we just happen to have a video of it in action...
