Never heard of that app, so I checked it out. Cydia won't allow a download for the reason of it's not verified for iOS5. Also the app I used in iOS4 was "Remove Background" seems not to work in iOS5. :(

yea, got multicleaner working but its very unstable.
a ios5 compatible version should be out soon
multicleaner requires activator as well if you don't have it.
Activator is ios5 ready already

Ya, got Activator already as it's needed with SBSettings and such.

Replied by using Siri, indeed it's still in Beta Stage
that was known before the launch... and it kinda suck!
I mean I ask siri to find an adress or tell me where I am, and i get replied that the service is not avail. in Canada...
How can this be a special service, as opposed to ask best restaurant or such.
Its just a matter of opening google maps and map the speech recognized text.

RIM offers free apps to make up for that whole BlackBerry outage thing
RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis has already apologized for last week's widespread BlackBerry outage, but apparently, that wasn't enough. Today, the manufacturer announced that it's offering customers a full slate of "premium apps" for free, in the hopes of earning back some of the goodwill it lost following that mysterious blackout. In a statement, the company said the gesture is "an expression of appreciation" for the patience that many BlackBerry users demonstrated during the incident, with Lazaridis adding that his company remains "committed to providing the high standard of reliability" that consumers have come to expect. For now, the company's offering a total of 12 apps (collectively valued at around $100), including SIMS 3, iSpeech Translator Pro and Shazam Encore among others, though more will be added at a later date. The offer kicks off on Wednesday and will last for a month, so head past the break to see which goodies are up for grabs.

What a desperate attempt at trying to kept their customers from switching to iPhone or android.

Sorry that multi-million dollar deal fell through, because you couldn't get email. But, hey, here is Bejeweled for free, you can play it in line while you file for unemployment benefits.

I think it's a good move in helping keep people on BlackBerry's but possibly too little too late. I'd like to see the same thing with more free apps along with a temporary price slashing on some actual handsets. Not only would you get some people ready for an upgrade staying on BB but you might even bring a few non-users on board.
Really sucks for BB that their unique worldwide system worked against them on this one at an especially bad time. I still think with a few key blown up privacy and security issues on Android/iOS devices RIM could use their system as a large selling point. But until then the damage of a network outage like this far outweigh the benefits of the security and benefits it provides imo.
