I’ve been messing arround with several jailbroken apps to display some critical data on my iPhone lockscreen. So far i have been using Intelliscreen to display email, sms, calendar etc. but I did not like it that much.

While searching Google for an alternative I came across this post. Turns out the developer of Cydia is building a brand new framework called “Cydget” for displaying data on the lockscreen and the guys over at T+L are building a new app for it called “Elegant”. It’s looking freakin’ sexy if you ask me and will be released next week.

We got in touch with Jay Freeman a.k.a saurik. He’s the guy behind Cydia, an application for jailbroken iPhones that allows you to browse and download apps outside of actual app store. He’s crazy smart, passionate and geeky — three things we love here at T+L. Jay is going to be instrumental in making this happen.

If you haven’t already figured it out, getting this on your phone will require you to jailbreak it. That may not be an appealing option for many, but for the 2 million plus out there who have already done it and for those that are comfortable with doing it, this can be a reality.
