If you've ever jailbroken an iOS device, there's little doubt that you've already paid a visit to the Cydia App Store. Full of invaluable iOS application that for one reason or another didn't make it into the iTunes App Store, Jay Freeman's Cydia has always been a one-stop shop to make your jailbreaking efforts worth while. Now, thanks to a few key updates to Cydia, it appears that the service will become easier to use than ever.
Thanks to freshly baked in Google and Facebook account integration, Cydia is now able to offer its users the ability to track and manage all of the applications they ever purchased or downloaded through the service, making reinstalling your favorite jailbroken applications a breeze. In the weeks to come, jailbreakers can also look forward to seeing Cydia adding a rating system to their App Store as well as the ability to install a complete backup of your jailbroken iOS device's Cydia apps in one go.
Now if we can just get Apple to follow suit with these great ideas, we'll really have something!
