LockInfo is great, something similar should be in iOS anyway. But I get
concerned about buying apps that may be rendered useless after a future
system update breaks the jailbreak.

It should. Putting your calendar/sms/whatever on the lockscreen is the
biggest missing item from iOS from a "me me me" perspective.

I don't particularly - $10 is a fair price, and I get to use it right
now (and the last year or so). Also, I get to choose when to upgrade
the system, so I choose to not do so until a new jb is available.

I was pleasantly surprised that LockInfo survived from v3 to iOS4
without a problem. Maybe it uses some Cydia-supplied hooks rather than
undocumented Apple API calls.

Same here with LockInfo. Nothing else seems worthwhile.
