Favourite Jailbroken Applications

Yep, I wouldn't bother faffing about either.
As above I use infinifolders, it works great. It's by the same chap (chpwn) who wrote gridlock and a few other tweaks: http://chpwn.com/apps/
The other similar app that's been getting lots of tweets is folderenhancer, but it looks a bit too complicated to me. Infinifolders is nice and simple, although it could do with auto-sorting folder contents by name, I have suggested that but no idea if it's going to be implemented.
Think i am going to wait for FolderEnhancer no 4.1 support yet - slated for end of oct though

Bloody hell, didn't realise MyWi was going to cost $19.99, don't know why,but I expected it to be free. TBH the prices seem high all over the store. Is there a cheaper/free alternative?
Edit: Can't say I'm overly impressed so far after playing around with the JB and Cydia. It's taking an absolute age to download and install SBSettings (the only thing I've tried so far - I'm beginning to wonder if it has stalled). MyWi is just an insane price... in fact all prices seem high. My phone now seems slower as well... Cydia itself seems slow, I keep getting error messages when trying to update packages (is that even right?).
I'll give it a few days, but I'm struggling to see what all the fuss was about.

This, aside from pretty themes and pirating crappy iPhone games, i don't see any reason to JB. I went back to legit iOS today because I just didn't see the point.
well what was the point in going back to 'legit' (jailbreak isnt non legit ?) what did that gain you ?
better battery life was my main reason for doing it. auto3g or sbssettings are vital.
openSSH is a great thing too, as are themes and widgets (all things i was used too from android)
i can still sync with itunes and stuff so what did i lose ? nothing. what did i gain ? as much as i want too. its not like its hassle to do either. its pretty much one click and one restart.
and yes cydia is slow. its even worse on the older iphones. its a site used by too many people with too many things trying to load up. waiting a few seconds for things to get upto speed isnt really a big deal

My reasons:
- Free tethering over USB or WiFi
- Enhanced iPod functionality
- Being able to explore the file system of my iPhone (openSSH)
- Android lock screen
- Ability to show new emails/notifications/texts/calendar alerts on the lock screen
- Customize icon layout, 5 spaces on the dock for example
- Able to download any application for free, not everything has a trial or preview
- Better multitasking
- Use WiFi only applications/features over 3G
and that's just off the top of my head.
Like pretty much anything when it comes to software, you can get it for free if you look hard enough.
There's actually a glitch with MyWi where you can download the trial and keep putting the date back and it'll never expire. Or you can find a cracked version on Cydia if you have the right sources, we cannot discuss that here though.

Is it possible to jailbreak 3GS 4.1 yet?
Yes use L1merain.
I don't know how to change the icons specifically but you can get Winterboard themes to change them at least, I have mine like this:
Could just go for greenp0ison then.. might be more reliable
its not buggy as in that it might cause trouble afterwards. it either works or it doesnt work
mainly the beta that didnt work with all

Is there an app available that will tell me when I'm picking up hsdpa rather than just 3G.

Hmmm cant seem to find infinifolders..even if i do search, nothing shows up :/...same with infinidock...it shows up in the cydia store but when i go to install it, it says cannot locate package...it recommends to install more sources but i dont know which ones to install...clicked refresh on the changes tab but nothing still.
Would be nice to have infinifolders as im finding 12 apps in a folder not enough so would like to increase that if possible.
Also is there an app in cydia that allows me to have more than 4 apps on the bottom dock??..
