Jailbreak Only: Once iOS 5 Arrives, It Will Be Possible To Tweet From Anywhere

According to a recent article, once the final version of iOS 5 becomes available a jailbreak tweak will be released, which will allow users to tweet from anywhere within the iOS.
In the first beta versions of iOS 5, it is possible to post a tweet from a variety of Apple's built-in apps, like Photos and Safari. When doing this, a pop-up box appears, allowing users to input a tweet and post it "via iOS."
While it is technically possible to post tweets without content links (URLs, photo links etc.), in the first beta versions of iOS 5, "tweeting from anywhere" isn't really a feature.
Fortunately for jailbreak fans, once the final version of iOS 5 is released, this is going to change: The popular tweak and theme master, Qwertyoruiop, will apparently release such a tweak, according to iPhoneItalia.
This is good news indeed. Then again, Apple might make the feature legitimately accessibile in the final beta version of iOS 5. Who knows? In the meantime, let us know your favorite iOS 5 tweak in the comments. And do remember that a similar tweak is currently available - qTweeter - though it doesn't look and feel like iOS 5's tweet pop-up box.

(It would appear that Qwertyoruiop has gone off the radar. We're not sure if he's officially given up jailbreaking, but the developer's website and Twitter profile aren't all that positive. We'll keep you posted.)
