Cydia, the free Debian-based app for your Jailbroken iPod Touch or iPhone has recently released it's latest version. But this isn't just any update, no sir. This time, they've included a Cydia Store! That's right, now you can purchase your favorite closed-source Cydia apps without leaving the browser! Take a look at this article to find out more. Other than the lastest and greatest, there are plenty of reasons to Jailbreak, and customize your device. Here are some of my personal favorites:

Backgrounder - Let's you run applications in the background
Extended Preferences - Adds more admin type options to your usual preferences
Five Icon Dock - Four icons isn't enough on your dock? This'll put five apps in their rightful place
Fiveirows - Tired of only having 16 apps on a page? Try this, it gives you Twenty
hClipboard - Gives you a system-wide ClipBoard. Finally, copy and paste functions
Mini vMac - Feeling nostalgic? Run a full Mini Mac emulator with this app
MobileTerminal - Something all hackers need, a REAL terminal on their 'pod
openSSH - This'll let you SSH into your toy, to modify all sorts of firmware files
Poof - Don't want to look at that app anymore? Poof let's you hide and unhide any app, no questions asked
Safari Download Plugin - Not being able to download gets really frustrating. This fixes that
SBSettings - Gives you superhuman control over your device, from any screen, any time
snes4iPhone - A Super Nintendo emulator! Tons of ROMs to download and play (legally, of course..)
spoofMAC - Need to change your MAC address? This little diddy will work in a pinch
SwapTunes - Let's you sync to multiple iTunes accounts, without losing a thing
veency - Watch your iPod Touch/iPhone's screen right on your computer
Volumeboost - The volume on your new toy seem lacking? Try this, gets louder
vWallpaper - Video wallpapers galore
Winterboard - The grand daddy of all customization apps. This will let you theme pretty much any part of your devices GUI. An absolute must have

I could go on and on about all of the different apps available from Cydia, but I'll let you check it out for yourself. By the way, here's the creator of Cydia. Remember, you paid how much for that? It's your right to hack it, so have fun, and go customize!
