For years Cydia dominated the jailbreak package instillation world with an unquestioned monopoly. Sure the app store is more stable, but obviously Apple doesn't offer jailbroken packages, and with the demise of installer, the discontinuation of Icy, and Cydia's recent purchase of Rock installer, Cydia had no real competition. However, that is all about to change as Icy is being redeveloped by the infinidev team and a new mobile safari based App store named Lima is also in development by the infinidev team. Lima will probably be incorporated into Icy for easy package installation, but can also be accessed though Safari. Lima will include both paid and free apps, and will feature a backup and restore system that will save apps in case users change devices or upgrade. There is not an official ETA on a launch but it will be soon.
