MyOS - Jailbreak App Allows You To Enable Or Disable iOS Features
A new jailbreak app aptly called MyOS is available on the Cydia App Store that allows users to enable or disable features (mostly) introduced in iOS 4 or later.
So if you think that multitasking is slowing your iPhone (especially older iPhone models) then disable it to see if it helps, if it doesnft then you can re-enable it.
You can achieve all this via the Settings app.
Here is a brief description of MyOS app:
Toggle one or more features and then press the Respring button.
By default, only the default features for your platform are enabled as of version 1.0.1.
You can enable or disable the following features using MyOS app:
-Multitasking - Gives you the user the option to turn Apples native multitasking feature on and off at will.
-Homescreen Wallpapers - The ability to enable and disable Apples own implementation of backgrounds in SpringBoard on and off.
-Unified iPod - Whether you like iPod.app on your iPod Touch or having Music.app and Video.app on your iPhone, this gives you the choice.
-AppStore - Don't like what the official AppStore has to offer, or want to prevent people from using it? this gives the ability to turn off the AppStore.
-Contacts (iPhone models only) - Stand-alone contacts make no sense when you have the Address Book in Phone.app? using this option you can turn it off.
-HDR (Requires hardware camera) - Enable HDR on unsupported devices or disable it from your iPhone 4, the decision is yours.
-GameCenter (iPhone 3G only) - Enable GameCenter on your iPhone 3G.
-Camera.app (Requires hardware camera) - Disable the camera on your device.
-Voice Control (Voice control capable devices only) - Disable Voice Control on all supported devices.
MyOS is available on the Cydia App Store for $0.99.
As always, please let us know what you think of MyOS and which feature you're planning to enable or disable using this jailbreak app in the comments section below.

4.2 Release date & info
4.2 Public release will must likely be here tomorrow or delayed another week.
Jailbreakers: delay your update. So far Cydia doesn't work and that's not a good sign for the apps. Good news, basemend hasn't been changed on the GM.
Legit users: hit the update when it comes around. It's a very nice update and you'll gonna like it.
So far in 4.2, the GM ver has the signal bars display changed and most ppl are gonna freak out when they see it. Maybe its gonna be changed in public release, who knows.
EDIT: iPad users hold off on the upgrade until it's confirmed. Just learned the GM build doesn't hold the wifi connection properly. That explains the delay of the release, Nov 9th-12th.

Here's a site that made me LOL a lot today, most of these are from the iPhone:
Instead of using MobileMe with a $99 subscription, you can buy this app for $4.99 (one time fee atm), and track your phone, remote ring it, or see it's tracking history.
It only runs on the 3GS or 4 (background), and even if you close the app it still runs using the location services.
It can't remotely wipe the phone though or ring the phone if it's in silent mode, but those aren't big hurdles anyway, and not really worth a $99 subscription in my mind.
You can also set the interval that it tracks itself, from continuous, 10 minutes, and up.
I bought this and it seems to work pretty well, and no hidden costs other than the initial cost of the app.

HTC 7 Mozart gets its microSD card swapped, but only after an intense teardown session
Man, Microsoft really isn't keen on having you swap out the microSD card that ships within its Windows Phone 7 devices, eh? After finding that the HD7's card could be replaced if you threw caution entirely to the wind, we're now seeing that the same is true with HTC's 7 Mozart. But unfortunately, you're still facing the same dilemma -- should you seriously risk destroying your phone forever just to get a capacity bump from 8GB to 32GB? One Andy Hamilton answered that with a definitive "yessir," and in the source link below, he proceeded to initiate an iFixit-level teardown in order to unearth the deeply concealed 8GB SanDisk Class 4 microSD card. He made a few mistakes along the way that you'll want to pay attention to if you end up tossing your own mobile on the operating table, but seriously, watch where you slide that X-Acto knife.
(You have to rip the phone apart to replace the micro sd card? Microsoft, what are you doing?
I don't mean to be so cruel to any other company, but ....
Ppl complained for years, about the iPhones lack of ability to swap out storage mem. This takes it to a whole new level, you can buy those micro sd cards anywhere)
