Well, after looking at all the stuff I can do with a jailbroken iPhone, I decided to do it. Here’s my main screen with Winterboard. In a addition to changing my themes to whatever suits my mood, it also allows me to have five icons in the dock below. (FYI, there are some wicked themes out there.)

This theme is called iWood, which I really like. Has a nice feel to it. Not overly imposing. I’ve also dimmed down the background a bit using the settings.

There are a lot of different apps to download via the “non-official store” Cydia (app). There are many free apps as well as some paid ones. One below is called SBSettings which allow a simple 1- to 2-click toggles of different settings on your iPhone. Very handy.

But I’ve now found an app to use my Vonage Softphone line, which allows me to make/receive calls over WiFi to the States for no additional charge, other than the charges I already have for having the plan. There are other VoIP situations that can make it “free”-er, but since I have Vonage already, this is no big deal for me.

Lots to explore so far. Speech recognition is the latest… more to follow.
