Install "ICY" Fast and Cool: Cydia Alternative

IMG_0001

ICY is another must have third party application that you must install on your iPod Touch, its another freeware package manager to distribute third party apps like Cydia and Installer but it is far far better. How many times you feel like killing yourself seeing the load times of Cydia? Here ICY works out its magic, it is fast and loads quickly, a lightweight alternative with size only ~1MB whereas Cydia is 32MB. Another coolness factor about  ICY is its support for landscape mode, now you can browse third party apps in landscape mode.
