LockDockBar

This utility puts your Phone, Mail, SMS, and Calendar apps on your lock screen above slide to unlock for quick and easy access. Just a quick install from Cydia and you can access all four of the applications mentioned above with a quick finger tap from the lockscreen. No slide to unlocked needed.

QuickUnlock

QuickUnlock provides more options for locking/unlocking your iPhone. If your phone is locked simply hit the home button three times to unlock temporarily. After you hit the home button three times you’ll be able to browse around your home screen for 10 seconds. If you do not choose an app or hit the home button again during those ten seconds your phone will re-lock automatically.

Sonos Gives Away iPhone Remote Control, Adds Pandora and Last.FM

accessories, apps, AppStore October 29th, 2008

Originally posted at [wired]
Sonos has added a few new features to its in-home streaming music players today. First is a software update for the actual Sonos gear, which gets bumped to version 2.7 and brings support for the Pandora and Last.FM music streaming services. More interesting, though is the new, free, Sonos Controller application for the iPhone.

In the video demonstration, it looks pretty great. Although the browsing might not be as pretty as that of the Apple made Remote, lacking album artwork, for instance, the core functions seem to work in a very intuitive manner.

We really like the way the volume control is handled for multiple Sonos units, for example — the master slider controls every room together, but the individual sliders are on the same screen for fine-tuning. The setup of new units and the routing of music to different rooms also looks easy. When it was released, Apple’s Remote was clearly a best of class example, and it looks like Sonos has taken a close look at that and re-rolled the essentials into its own app.

Best of all, it’s free. And just as well — At $350 for the cheapest Sonos box that can be hooked up to a stereo, compared to just $100 for an Airport Express, the Sonos gear looks very expensive, especially if you are hooking up multiple rooms.

But for people who are already networked with Sonos gear, and have been looking jealously at the excellent Remote App from Apple, this is a great free gift.
