While you can now always see the latest updates on the site using our latest apps WebApp, I’ll call out some highlights here.
New version of bitesms (v2.1) is out. With some decent features:
AppBackup is out. This will backup your Appstore apps settings so that if you have to restore your apps you can. This is useful for reinstalling your apps on your iPhone. But if you restore, your backups, too will be gone unless you SSH them off of there.
Lockdown v3.0 is out with a lot of improvements. If you need to be able to lock certain apps with a password so you can hand your phone off to someone else for a bit, this is the app for you.
Scrobble is the first iPhone 2.0 Scrobbler app without the ridiculous restrictions Apple imposes on the SDK submitters. This app will sit in the background listening to what songs you listen to and scrobble them onto the last.fm servers.

Just recently installed iTango as a theme, but when I go into Cydia it prompts for upgrade to the iTango theme. Seems like the upgrade doesn’t take. It still says that there’s an upgrade to the iTango theme for Winterboard. Wondering if anyone has that same issue.

Yea, I’m having the same issue. I’m sure he’ll figure it out.
And everyone else, he already said he’s working on categories. Repeatedly asking for it isn’t going to make him work any faster. Believe me, everyone else misses it just as much as you guys.

As I understand it, the Scrobble app runs in the background. Do you have the ability to turn this off? I like the idea of being able to scrobble my tunes to my Last.fm account, but I don’t want it running in the background until I am actually listening to music.

i need categories, too. while it isn´t available you can try “dock”, its available in cydia now.
its not the same, but you can hide the icons with
poof and use one springboard site with your important apps for example.
