While these music players could not shoot HD videos or play racing games using their gyroscope, they had a very cool feature in the form of their click wheel. Being very responsive and accurate you could easily browse your entire music collection in a jiffy. If you missed having the click wheel then iPhoneUserGuide.com brings you some good news today. You should check out iClassic, a jailbreak tweak for jailbroken iPhones which will bring back the magic of the click wheel. But is it as good as the real thing? Read on to find out. This tweak for your iPhone does come very close to the real thing. On first look you will notice that this app does not look exactly like the iPod classic. This is because the design of the iPod classic is copyrighted which resulted in the developer having to change the design of the layout a bit. However, you will find several free themes on Cydia which will make it look exactly like the iPod Classic. But the look of iClassic doesn’t really matter. What does is the close resemblance with the click wheel it provides. It is exactly like the physical click wheel with the same awesome click sound when you are scrolling and browsing through your music folders. Apart from the click wheel, you also have the exact volume setting option appear when you are rotating your finger about the wheel as well as the repeat and shuffle options which appear on the right side of the display. iClassic definitely reminds you about the good ol’ iPod classic days. All this nostalgia will however cost you $2, but considering how close it is to the actual thing, it is definitely a must have for all you Click Wheel lovers. The themes are free. You can get this app from the BigBoss repo in Cydia.
