Tired of ‘Slide to Unlock’? Jailbreak App VUnlock May be For You

VUnlock is a jailbreak App that lets users unlock the screen using their volume buttons rather than the usual "Slide to Unlock" found in iDevices. Which, by the way, Apple was recently awarded a patent for.

It may be a bit faster than having to hit a button to turn on the screen then swiping your finger across the bottom of the screen to access your phone. It's available on Cydia, the marketplace for JB devices.
