Have you ever wished you could launch an app with Siri? Or maybe change your iPhone’s settings? Yeah, me too. It seems like such an obvious thing, but Siri just can’t do it. Unless… Unless you jailbreak your iPhone.

After jailbreaking my iPhone 4S and getting everything back up and running, I ran into a minor snag with the Twitter app. When I clicked on “Home,” it said “Protected Tweets.” What? Protected Tweets? Are you kidding?
Today I went out and picked up a shiny new iPhone 4S to replace my still-pretty-shiny iPhone 4. I’ve been waiting to do so until after a jailbreak was available for this device. The release of the Absinthe A5 jailbreak, made that a reality.
If you’re looking for a GPS navigation app for your iPhone, look no further than MotionX GPS Drive. This thing is awesome — and it only costs $0.99. If you’d like turn-by-turn voice directions, it’ll cost you an extra $9.99/year, but still…
It’s no secret that I love using MyWi to share the 3G connection on my jailbroken iPhone. I was thus disappointed to discover that my phone had stopped connecting to the internet after using MyWi — and the only way to fix it was to re-boot.
After upgrading to iOS 5, I discovered that Apple has added a “Newsstand” app that holds various news sources and subscriptions. Unfortunately, they don’t allow you to add it to a folder, so it’s hard to hide it if you don’t use it.
Tonight I decided to upgrade from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 5.0.1 so I could take advantage of the new iOS 5 untethered jailbreak. What I really want is an untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S, but until that happens I’ll stick with my iPhone 4.
I’ve been waiting patiently for an untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S before I upgrade. As much as I want to chat with Siri, make use of iCloud, and shoot pics with that fancy 8MP camera, I can’t stand the thought of losing my jailbreak.
