LaunchPads 1.4 an amazing application with tons of functionality
June 2nd, 2008 by Jorge Ledesma
Well I’m sure you’ve heard of the movie “Jewel of the Nile” remember that, Michael Douglas in an Indiana Jones knockoff kind off but nevertheless very entertaining, well guess what Saturday, surfing around I came upon LaunchPads 1.4 at Mobihand.com, well I contacted the developer to trial the application and that’s how I met Fabian Heuwieser. Fabian’s a great developer who develops simple but highly effective blackberry applications, I would put his application under the “Utilities” categories and what a wonderful surprise. Launchpads, is a utility that lets you jump to the native Blackberry PIMs easily and as a bonus, you know how much of a pain in the butt it its to launch the native task PIM, click menu, click new, and then start typing, well in comes Launchpads to the rescue, launch launchpads via a side-key and hit the “T” and launchpads will open the native blackberry task application and you’re ready to start entering your task, pretty amazing and pretty efficient, but it gets better, Launchpads give you that ability with all the Blackberry PIM, contacts, calender, task, and memos. Well as if this was not enough, LaunchPads also let’s you SMS someone in about 1/2 sec from any application, it also let’s you set up an email you use frequently, and for the big super duper option it also let’s you launch any other application that’s on your blackberry by simply setting up the module and name, pretty sweet. If you have any question on this software don’t hesitate to ask Fabian directly, he’s very quick to reply, email him at fabian.heuwieser@gmx.de
PS. A little birdy told me he’s developing a super cool version of Memos that let’s you take instant notes, I’ll keep you posted.
Two enthusiastic thumbs up for LaunchPads
they just updated to version 1.5, which they had OTA though
