The code might be open source, but that might be a reason for Apple not to use it, depending on which license it was opened under.
wasn't that the deal with VLC for iOS also. it was created open source but under a license that prohibited it being used in a way that was also in keeping with Apple's rules. So it was pulled.
They should also hire the team (person) that made LockInfo. <snip>.

I LOVE Lockinfo, and it's the one Jailbreak app/mod I felt was worth paying for. The frustration of having to enter your pin /etc (when pin protected) just to see new mail notifications/etc.etc.. is really tiresome..
PLEASE Apple, hire David Ashman or buy his code...
I will always Jailbreak to get this kind of useful functionality...
It's good to know that Apple is watching what the Jailbreak devs are doing re. functionality.

I am a huge fan of LockInfo (primary reason I've jailbroken my iPhone) but I disagree with your suggestion of hiring Ashman. Unlike the two notification hires with to much show a unique ways of implementing notifications LockInfo is pretty tame. If Apple has created lock screen info I think it's a completely different beast from LockInfo. it might even ties to an SDK for that these "widgets" can be on the lock screen independent of some standalone app icon.

Fair comment.. I am pretty ignorant of other notification apps/widgets.. I just find the simplicity of Lockinfo great.. I didn't bother looking at anything else when I found out about it.
I agree that Apple (if they did it) would do it differently..
Anything would be better than nothing which is what I get with an unjailbroken iphone..oh yeah I get an SMS message.. which overwrites any recent SMS's...
At least it seems like they are doing something about it.
Will be very interested to see what IOS5 brings (even if all its features don't work on my ancient 3GS )

Yeah. Some conflict between the license VLC is under and the app store ToS, IIRC.

When was MobileNotifier removed from Cydia?
I think you need to add a repository to find it:
