Quickwidgets is the way to go:

And possibly Cydget, in fact there is a widget community developed just for these programs.

Intelliscreen was what I also used ages ago but these programs have superceded it!

@imperialights: Thanks, I didn't know that.
Btw, is OS4 jailbreak for 3GS out yet? I wanna make sure my device can stay jailbreak-able thru the OS4 update, even though it'll be awhile before the JB apps and extensions are made fully compatible and stable on OS4.

I can't wait til they integrate SBSettings to the new multitasking interface..

Re: iPhone 4
 

I am not sure if its available, I know they achieved it. So it shouldn't be too long!

Re: iPhone 4
 

just curisou if you are running a jailbroken 3gs and you have a lot of apps installed from cydia, if you upgrade and rejailbreak, I assume you need to reinstall your apps from cydia??

Does cydia have paid apps or is it just kind of the wild wild west on cydia?

Re: iPhone 4
 

Nah, I don't find im on the go that important. Probably because i'm only used to IM at home and if I do it on the go it's only because I want to contact someone. I certainly don't need an always online presence. Not until IM replaces sms at least.

Even on N900 I use pidgin esp because as a yahoo user emoticons are a crucial part of my existence. The built in feature is only usefull to me for video chats.

But how ab IM file transfers? I know yahoo can send pics, but how about docs & archieves?

@quipper: there are paid apps on cydia. afaik cydia have implemented their own apps license registry and payment system (paypal capable), so you just need to relogin to cydia on your freshly (blank) jailbroken iDevice to redownload all the apps you've already paid for for free.
There are also utilities to make a list of all the currently installed packages, so that you can mass-install those packages again on blank device on one go.

@bec: If you don't need to jump in/out of IM, then that limitation won't be much of a bother then. The remote-proxy system is useful for when you're in areas with bad/limited connectivity. It keeps you connected (maybe with 'away' status) and keeps receiving the messages even when you're disconnected. Useful for messenger service without offline-msg-receiving feature, like gtalk.

Shared file repository isn't available yet in OS4. I think they only allow you to send pictures from the photo library. I think you've to resort to email transfers for most of file exchanges.

Re: iPhone 4
 

I'm not sure if you're serious, but since the release of the GM version (same as public release) about 2 weeks ago (?), I've been getting a steady stream of app updates. I only had one minor problem that I was able to work around, and that app was just updated yesterday. But I'm pretty boring; I'm generally just using the well maintained stuff.

iPhone 4 - First Official review by a major website (I think)

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/iphone-4-review/

Is it just camera tricks or do the program icons seem to hover/pop out because the screen DPI is so high?!

@imperiallight: it's your retinas dude... they're pierced...

from that engadget review:

Re: iPhone 4
 

Shenanigans. No note is made of the capacity of the battery, and Apple is extremely aggressive on profiling and power management. I'm also guessing there's some huge fudge factor and unconscious exaggeration in usage.
