why do some of the cydia apps say they are ios6 compatible? there's no jailbreak for ios6, so that confuses me. the only reason i'm not updating to ios6 is NCSettings and Zephyr. i would lose those if i updated to ios6 since there's no jb yet? or is there something i don't understand about iphones/ios?

There's technically a beta version of a tethered jailbreak (iDevice has to be connected to a PC and booted using the application every time it restarts) for three devices running iOS 6 - it's only really meant for developers to use for compatibility testing in the hope of an eventual full jailbreak, so you'd want to avoid it. Updating to iOS 6 at the moment would lose access to your cydia apps, yes.

Ah, that all makes sense now. Thanks for clearing it up.
