Dashboard X

Dashboard X
One thing that has been missing on iOS for years Heck even android have had these for ages, the thing that i'm talking about is widgets. iOS has been catching up to android on it's features for years and they still haven't caught up to the likes of android, there's just something about apple creating the same features that android has and revamping and personalising them for a much more unified experience.

Dashboard X brings notification widgets that can be installed from apps like facebook and twitter to your springboard, even widgets are are installed through cydia like SBsettings which is basically toggles so you can easily turn on and off data or wifi and other toggles.

Sbsettings: just like springtomize, Sbsettings has been on every version of my iphone without fail, it's quick toggles. This tweak has been out for years ever since the first iphone came out and it was able to get third party support from jailbreaking and it's surprising that apple haven't decided to put a quick toggle widget or something on the spotlight search page where you could easily view and switch toggles. whenever i've updated my iphone accidently, i've always been frustrated that i can't toggle stuff quickly and i've had to go into the settings go through all the different menu just so i can turn 3G off and on.

I'm expecting something like this in iOS 6 and either you'll be able to manover the widgets around or they'll be a prefixed page.

one of the concepts that i've just thought of could be a really good reality for the iphone. you're on a homescreen like normal and you swipe down from any page of your homescreen and you'll be able to get widgets on it's on prefixed page. it would be good to see this is cydia in the upcoming weeks.

There's too much information from E3 2012 and i've took notice of the sony and nintendo press conferences but when i get around to watch them i will blog about them
