LockInfo for jailbroken iPhones

Here’s another reason why you should jailbreak your iPhone. What you need (or at least what I need) is a quick snapshot of key activities (primarily Calendar appointments) on the lock screen. There’s already an app for that called IntelliScreen, which I personally love! And today we present you with a similar application – LockInfo.

Like the mentioned IntelliScreen, LockInfo shows such information as calendar events, unread texts and missed calls on the iPhone’s lock screen. The information presented is grouped and if you don’t have any unread SMS nothing will show up.

Everything is pretty customizable, so for instance you can opt to view calendar events and missed calls, only. Moreover, you can theme-up the design to make it suit your “artistic needs,” if you desire so. In addition, there are plugins available for Twitter, push notifications and so on.

To sum things up – if you haven’t bought IntelliScreen, you should grab LockInfo. It costs $4.99 and it’s available from Cydia. You may have to add David Ashman’s repository (http://david.ashman.com/beta/) in order to see the app on the list. And again, a jailbroken device is required.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.

    Instead of jailbreaking your iPhone, dump your iPhone instead and get a smartphone. Don’t hang on to this overhyped iToy featurephone.

    @tim what do you think “smartphone” means?
