Have you ever wanted to check the weather or look at stocks without unlocking your iPhone? A tweak called Bulletin lets you access the iOS 5 Notification Center from your jailbroken device’s lock screen.

This simple tweak costs $0.99 in Cydia and can be configured in the Settings app. You can enable or disable Bulletin at any time in Settings, and there’s even some added options for tinkering your Notification Center drop-down window.

The lock screen time can be hidden whenever you pull down Notification Center, which I recommend leaving hidden for a cleaner experience. You can also make your Notification Center drop-down window transparent in either your lock screen or all of iOS 5.

If you rely on third-party jailbreak widgets or simply want more Notification Center access on your lock screen, Bulletin is a great buy.
