Hailed as a revolutionary device, the iPhone is a welcomed addition to my collection of gadgets. The iPhone has increased my productivity and I’d rather spend time surfing the web from my iPhone than my laptop. With that being said, there’s entirely too much functionality missing from the iPhone. It’s great for playing games and surfing the web, but it misses the mark with a lot of features that even the “dumbest” phone phone. Here are 6 apps/hacks that you can try out to bring certain functionality back to the iPhone.
*Note: All of my recommendations require your iPhone to be jailbroken and are available via Cydia. Please see a great jailbreaking resource put together by the awesomesauce Sarah Perez.
1. WeatherIcon
This is a very useful hack that overlays your original Weather App icon to display the correct weather stats of your area complete with an icon that changes to match your local weather conditions. Now you no longer have to open the weather app just to receive a quick overview of the current weather.
Check out this awesome review on the WeatherIcon.
2. Cycorder
Normally I would just use Qik to record a video via my iPhone. However, there’s a lot of little hoops to jump through in order to accomplish this. Enter Cycorder. It’s a video recorder (duh) for the iPhone. Playback, audio, and quality are great!
3. Winterboard
Themes galore for your iPhone! Winterboard is a necessity for my iPhone and quite frankly, the only reason as to why I must jailbreak my iPhone. (See first image in post to get an idea of what Winterboard can do)
4. Live Time
Just like the weathericon hack, LiveTime sets the correct time on the clock app. It also sports an animated “second” hand.
5. Clear All SMS
Swiping your finger for each text message in your inbox can be quite the tasks if you’re a text fanatic. Clear All SMS provides an option for you to simply delete all of your text messages at once. Try Erase Contacts to do the same for all of your contacts.
6. iLog
iLog is quite possibly the best call/sms manager for the iPhone. The iPhone misses a lot of functionality and data when it comes to call stats and being able to forward individual sms messages to others let alone viewing individual messages. iLog aims to fix this problem and does a great job of doing so. Unlike the other apps, iLog isn’t free for very long. The developer allows you to use the app for up to 5 days before you have to purchase the app. Personally, I think it’s worth the money.
<h2 align=”center”>What Makes the Ugg Bailey Button Boot Such a Hit?</h2>
It's simple. UGG Australia has morphed together their two most popular styles. They started with the ever-popular UGG Classic Short Boot and then added a Wooden Button from their best-selling, as seen on Oprah, UGG Cardy. Put them together and you get this year's must have UGG style – the Ugg Bailey Button.
The Bailey Button is available in 5 colors including Black, Chestnut, Grey, Chocolate and Sand. California-based retailer Footwear etc. has received all 5 colors into stock at their 7 stores and is already seeing positive results. Footwear etc. Manager, Andrew Monarch, said "It is not a matter of IF the Bailey sells out, but how quickly. We highly recommend that our customers secure their boots early before it's too late."
Right, it is not a matter of IF the Bailey sells out, but how quickly. So we highly recommend that our customers secure their pair early before it's too late.
The UGG Bailey Button is also very versatile as it can be worn up or folded down for a different look. They feature a soft foam insole and a genuine sheepskin lining. If you haven't experience the comfort of authentic UGG Australia Boots yet then your feet have been missing out. Give the new UGG Bailey Button a try today or if it's not for you, there's always the popular classic styles including UGG Classic Short, UGG Classic Tall and UGG Classic Cardy.
But remember… don't wait to get your UGGs. Every year people procrastinate and then they can't find the UGG Boots they want. UGG Sale–Shop early for the best selection. The closer to Christmas you get the harder it gets to find UGGs.

I am still considering an iphone. Seems like everybody is having hell of a good time! :)

Nice list. the Cycorder app looks good, will go download it!
Good list Corvida. I would add SB Settings, which lets you qickly and easily toggle on/off battery-slurping services like WiFi, 3G, BT etc. – much more easily than via the cliumsy in-built Settings app …
I love all these hacks, but my favourite one is being able to stream live videos with Qik. Will use this for social networking.
