Leopard

• Gorgeous Quicksilver interface based on Leopard’s Core Animations. It’s called Showcase.

iPhone

• Listen: It all depends on a Gracenote licence. Listen (still very beta) samples 5 seconds of audio input and is able to detect meta data for a tremendous amount of songs based on the MusicBrainz fingerprinting service.
• Store iPhone web apps with data: tags and base64 encoding in local flash memory.
• Never do stupid things like wrapping your iPhone in aluminium foil..
• If you happen to use SummerBoard on an international (ex. German) iPhone themes perhaps won’t display all the icons correctly. A small trick: get into /private/var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes//Icons and change the filenames to corresponding titles from your language pack (ex. Calendar->Kalender).
  The weather icon is kinda tricky: Either change SBWeatherCelsius.png or SBWeatherFahrenheit.png located in /System/Library/Coreservices/Springboard.app/ (credit goes to a hackint0sh post).
• If you are sick of not having Flash supported in MobileSafari, try itransmogrify.
• CallData detects region codes from phone numbers.
