In my opinion, the single greatest omission from the iPhone has got to be the lack of global notifications. Every other phone I’ve owned in the past 6 years has had an icon for thing like new sms and missed calls, visible from every menu. The iPhone does not.

This app alone is worth jailbreaking your iPhone for.
