Cydercorder: Cycorder is a video camera app from Cydia that functions like a lower-end version of the higher-end 3GS's camera. Record videos at the maximum speed of the iPhone camera.

Installous: I've saved the best for last! This is a free app installer. Remember this is so that you can try out App Store apps before buying them. If you like the app, please purchase from the app store. Getting this app requires a little more than just going into Cydia and installing (unlike the other apps in this article which are just quick installs from Cydia). Check out my How To Install Installous Article for full instructions.
