One thing we missed that deserves the spotlight are a handful of beautiful settings shortcuts, from designer Jeff Broderick, that allow you to quickly access your iPhone’s specific settings directly from your home screen—and it doesn’t even require jailbreaking. – Lifehacker

This “tweak” leverages simple device profiles to create a shortcut from the home screen right to the specific associated preferences settings. Most jailbreakers use SBSettings to perform similar tasks.

In addition, there was a similar format that leveraged an HTML5 website to run a similar command to get to the settings via a webapp. However, this was obviously slow and dependent on a persistent connection to the web that iPod touches may not always have.

The clever use of device profiles eliminates the need for a web connection and is extremely fast. While I am looking forward to when the iPhone 4S jailbreak is released, in the meantime, I like the fast access to my wireless settings!
