Well, it seems that the majority of jailbroke iPhone and iPod touch users prefer Cydia which really doesn’t surprise me too much. What does surprise me is that 7% of the voters use Rock Your iPhone (RockApp). I didn’t expect it to be that many.

trichome is a very nicely designed WinterBoard theme that contains 39 small icons (some are alternate icons), a wallpaper, dock, badges, pop-up mod, live clock mod and page indicators.

I really like the live clock mod implementation. You do not have to have the actual LiveClock app installed for the live clock to work with this theme… it is built into the theme. The theme also contains an icon mask which resizes all icons (besides web clip icons) so that they match the themed icons. It also contains a detailed .psd file allowing you to create your own icons for the theme. You can get trichrome via the modmyi source.

How to Install a Theme:

1. Your device must be jailbroken. (how?)
2. Make sure you have WinterBoard installed via Cydia.
2. Make sure you have the modmyi source installed in Cydia.
3. Search for trichome in Cydia, run the install.
4. Open WinterBoard and activate the trichome Theme.

I’m sure all the Droid ads may have peeked your interest… so, take a look. Personally, I’m partial to the iPhone… obviously!

Woot Buzz is a simple application that will notify you when your keywords come up for sale at Woot.com, kids.woot.com, sellout.woot.com, wine.woot.com and shirts.woot.com.

This app is very simple… enter keywords and you will be notified via a free text message when those items become available on one of the five woot sites.

“When you item is found Woot Buzz sends you a free text message to your phone. This text message is absolutely free and you will not be charged for it.

Follow the link at the bottom of the message to visit the website that has your item for sale and buy it at a discount.”

How to use Woot Buzz:
Go to the Search option on the lower menu bar, enter a keyboard (or words), select your carrier and hit Save. You will get a pop-up saying that you will be notified when that keyword is available on woot. It will take around 30 seconds for your keyword to show up in the Keywords section of the app. You can turn the app on/off and delete keywords in the Keywords option on the lower menu bar.

This application does not have a stellar design, it’s pretty simple, but it could definitely be a useful application especially coming into the Holiday season! Now, you don’t have to check all the woot sites everyday… you can get a text when the things you actually want go for sale! w00t!

Find out more info about Woot Buzz on the app’s website.

These notices are sent to you as a Free Text through your carrier’s email server. There is no cost and no fee.

Now you can enjoy your weeks without worrying about missing a sale! If your item appears on any of the Woot websites you will receive an free text with a link to the item.

Volume Buttons Disable is a hack that does exactly what the title says… disables your volume buttons. As soon as you install the hack, and your device resprings, the volume buttons on the side of your device will no longer work. I’m not exactly sure why you would want this but… there’s a hack for that!

If for some reason you do install this hack, you can always adjust your volume using the SBSettings Volume Slider Widget which allows you to quickly adjust your volume via a slider in SBSettings.

I have tested the mod and it does work. When you uninstall the mod you do get your volume button functionality back… good thing! You can get Volume Buttons Disable via the modmyi source.

There are a lot of twitter apps in the App Store actually, there are quite a few good twitter apps in the App Store. Personally, I have always been partial to Tweetie and like many people I was totally stoked about the release of Tweetie 2. I’m still a believer in the app, but lets just say it has it’s bugs. So, I was once again stoked to hear about the update to version 2.1 of the app.

The update to Tweetie 2 version 2.1 includes quite a few bug fixes (thank goodness) and also quite a few cool new features. According to TechCrunch, there are two features that they think we will like the most; “New-style retweets and geolocation support.”

TechCrunch gives a nice overview of three of the new featuers of Tweetie 2.1; Retweets, Geolocation and Lists. Below are a few snippets from there review but, you can check out their full article HERE.

The update is scheduled to be submitted to the App Store later this week and then, as we all know, will have to go through the approval process. We will let you know when it is available. It will be a free upgrade for Tweetie 2 owners.

Retweets
While Twitter has yet to enable the new-style retweets or geolocation for most accounts, Tweetie 2.1 offers a glimpse of how it will work. Tweets from accounts with the new retweet function show up in Tweetie 2.1’s stream. As promised, these are the tweets from the actual person who originally sent it, rather than the person doing the retweeting.

But Tweetie 2.1 highlights these retweets in a nice way. First of all, you see both the user icon for person who originally tweeted the item and the person retweeting it. The original tweeter’s icon is big, while the retweeter’s icon is small and stuck in the lower right hand corner (see image). These tweets are also tagged with a pinkish-red triangle in the upper right hand corner to let you know this is a retweet. Clicking on these tweets takes you to a page that shows you the tweet from the original source, but also says at the bottom “retweeted by @USERNAME.”

Geolocation
Likewise, Tweetie 2.1 also shows off Twitter’s new geolocation support. Again, for accounts that have it turned on, these tweets show up in Tweetie 2.1 with a tiny red location pin in the upper right hand corner. Clicking on these tweets takes you to the tweet’s page which also has a little map preview below it showing what city the tweet was sent from. Clicking on this map loads up a larger Google Map inside of Tweetie 2.1 that pinpoints the actual location with a red push pin.

Version 2.1 Feature List:
* Geotag work
* New retweeting
* Post ‘message’ parameter through to custom Image endpoints
