The iPhonaddict Jailbreaks His iPhone 4S (Tweak Peek)

Do it or don't do it? That is the question that every iPhone owner asks themselves at one point or another. I ask myself that question with every iPhone and with every new jaibreak software that gets released. It's not like it use to be, where with every Cydia install, you held your breath and prayed hoping that it wouldn't freeze and force a reboot (or even worse, a restore). No, as the iOS platfrom grew, so has the jailbreak community and the quality of apps, tweaks, hacks and themes available is a testament to that. I have noticed absolutely NO slowdown or bugginess beyone whatever I was already experiencing with the Apple released iOS 5.0. The iPhone 4S is a powerful phone, but I have found that with the right tweaks and apps, it can become even more powerful. So, regardless of if you are a member of #TeamPure or #TeamJailbreak, watch the video below featuring many of the dozen or so Cydia mods I have installed and consider the possibilities of what could be.

Making the Most Out of the Default Mail App on the iPhone

It's no secret that the default mail app on iOS is not loaded with the same feature set that you get in Gmail. It doesn't have the advanced filtering. It doesn't offer any built-in keyboard shortcuts. It doesn't have "labels". It doesn't even have a "Priority Inbox". Yet I still prefer it over Gmail. Why is that? Because it's simple. Because it's elegant. Would I like more features? Yes. Of course I would. But with each iteration of the iOS platform, more of those those check boxes of wants are being checked off. In the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system, we were given:

My Thoughts on Multitasking on Mobile Devices

Get an Android fan and an Apple "Fanboy" in the same room and bring up the subject of multitasking. The arguments from both sides regarding the subject are going to both be relevant in regard to their preferred platforms. Yes, the Android operation system can run multiple apps in the background. The "Fanboy" will tell you that the way Apple does it is better with their fast app-switching saved state method because it is better on battery life.
