We blogged about expected removal of VLC medial player for iPhone and iPad from the App Store back in November as a formal notification of copyright infringement was sent to Apple by Rémi Denism, the lead contributor of the original VLC project. Now, Apple has eventually pulled the plug on VLC media player for iOS and is gone from the App Store for good. However, if you were too lazy for some reason to download a FREE copy of VLC before it got pulled, looks like you can still grab it for free, only this time from Cydia!  Read more...

This is one of the beauties of jailbreaking your iPhone – you can get just about any feature the competing devices have. Just yesterday, we covered a Cydia tweak that lets you unlock your device the same way one would unlock a Samsung Galaxy S phone. Today, a new Cydia Tweak called TV Tube Sleep has appeared which gives you a TV Tube animation when you turn off your iPhone screen using the sleep button. This is exactly like how Nexus S, the first Gingerbread phone from Google, animates when you turn its display off. It looks freaking awesome.  Read more...

It seems that Cydia for Mac OS should be released earlier than we thought as its creator, Jay Freeman aka Saurik, has developed a new version of MobileSubstrate called ‘CydiaSubstrate’. It runs on Mac OS X as well as the iOS as claimed by ArsTechnica. According to Saurik, Cydia will be more of an OS X tweaking tool instead of being an apps destination.
