Apple Disables Settings Shortcuts in iOS 5.1 Beta

Apple has reportedly disabled the ability to create an icon shortcut to specific setting menus in iOS 5.1 beta.

As far as I recall, things like this will "confuse the user", so yup miphones still for retards as I read it properly, fortunate for those with JB phones cause they do use the phone as a smartphone and have this for as long as I can remember (Thx Cydia!), nothing out of the hat for the brain dead 99% of users with non JB phones.

Apple just needs to realize that they could do something simple and elegant for these shortcuts, allow people to add them to the Notifications tab like SBSettings does!
