Twidget Brings Twitter to Your iPhone LockScreen

You probably already know how many Twitter clients are available in the AppStore: a lot. Choosing a Twitter application is just your personal preference now, depending on the features you need and how much you’d like to pay to tweet from your iPhone. But you know, Twitter clients could be a lot better if only Apple removes all the SDK limitations developers have to fight with.

Fortunately, there’s Cydia, the amazing alternative store created by Saurik which is the main reason why people jailbreak their phones. I was browsing Cydia last week and I stumbled upon a great application, which has changed the way I read my timeline updates: Twidget.

Snappy and SnapTap: Two Great Apps to Improve Your iPhone Camera

I’ve told you last week how much I love the Cydia Store: it’s a great place to discover and download apps Apple will never approve in the AppStore. You know, SDK violations. And I mean applications like Orbit, Overboard and Multifl0w, biteSms, the reasons why many people decide to jailbreak their phones.

Today I’d like to talk about two new apps from the Cydia Store which will dramatically improve the way you use the iPhone camera.

Editing Video On Your iPhone? There’s Even An App For That.

Link

“ReelDirector can’t do everything, mainly due to limits imposed by Apple’s iPhone SDK. The biggest among them is the inability to use your iPod music for background sound. The best workaround so far is to record your music through the iPhone’s microphone.

While ReelDirector is probably best compared to iMovie rather than Final Cut Pro, the ability to edit quick videos and share them with loved ones without ever touching a computer is still quite remarkable.”


Quite remarkable, but still limited. Seriously Apple, what’s the problem with background music?

Extract Addresses and Send Multilple Messages with Mail-Grab

Apple’s Mail is a great piece of software: sure, it has some minor flaws and compatibility issues, but overall there’s no mail client better than Mail.app on Mac OS X. I’ve tried many, like Postbox and Thunderbird, but I couldn’t just get the right feeling while using them. There are only two additional applications I use everyday for mail management: Mailplane for my Gmail accounts and Notify as quick menubar notifier.

Guess what, I think I’ve just discovered another great addition to Mail: Mail-Grab.
