Well, since MobileMe is inching closer and closer to its inevitable death, I decided today to update my iPhone 3GS to iOS5, and move my data to iCloud. I attempted at jailbreaking my iPhone, but since it was jailbroken the update process eluded me in the short time frame that I had to update, so I decided to just go with stock iOS. My iPad hasn't been jailbroken, and iOS5 is not bad on it, so I decided to give it a try. The one bad thing is that I didn't back up my device, so I had to reinstall every app...it's OK, live and learn. I just need to re-login to every single thing and then try to figure out how to import my momento 1.0 export XML file to the momento 2.0 app...

In any case, there are some things that I already miss from my jailbroken phone:

• LockInfo: This was a pretty freakin' awesome modification to the iOS, which allows people to show information on their lock screen such as upcoming events, to-do things from 2Do and any incoming emails. I know that the new notification center does a lot of this stuff, but the lockscreen does need some info on it to make it useful
• ByteSMS: iMessage may have its benefits, but nothing really beat ByteSMS's capability of just sending a text message from anywhere you were - this feature will be sorely missed.
• Ringtones and SMS tones: OTAKON!!!! I had a metal gear solid communicator sound for the incoming SMS sound...now I am back to stock...
• Multifl0w: This is the second jailbreak app that I paid for (the first being lockinfo) and for good reason - it's a much more useful (and much more visually pleasing) way to switch apps. You can have it use the WebOS card metaphor, or (my favorite) the MacOS X exposé metaphor.

I really hope that iOS6 (which probably won't run on my 3GS) brings SMS tones, Message-anywhere, a lockscreen info pane and a better app switcher...
