NikkiSoft is having a 50% off sale on their popular QuickLaunch application for BlackBerry today only!

QuickLaunch has come a long way with its development and it only gets better with each update. In my opinion this is an application no BlackBerry user should be without, especially if you want to get the most out of your convenience keys.

QuickLaunch is a must have application for every BlackBerry owner. With an interface that is seamlessly integrated with the look of the BlackBerry OS, QuickLaunch will create shortcuts to most any application on your device with ease and style. In addition the added functions included with QuickLaunch will enable you to delete several other apps on your device saving memory making QuickLaunch the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of your Blackberry.

QuickLaunch allows you to setup shortcuts to various functions such as Websites, Email, SMS and PIN addresses, Phone numbers, 3rd Party Apps, Videos, Images, Audio files, Device Info, Bluetooth Configuration, Camera, Video Camera, Delete your Call Logs, Manage Connections, Device Reset, Google and Wikipedia Search and other functions such as Blackberry Options, Calculator, Calendar, Event Log, Tasks, WiFi On/Off Toggle (Bold and Curve Versions) and more! Configure a convenience key to activate QuickLaunch and when pushed a menu will popup showing a scrollable list of your configured actions. The menu can be set to appear on the Right or Left side and can be shown on virtually any screen so you can perform any action without backing up and navigating through your homescreen and folders saving you time. Quick easy access to what you want to do wherever you are!

Check out QuickLaunch in the store and get it for only $2.49 until 12AM CT tonight, after that it goes up to $4.99.

I’ve had QuickLaunch since it’s early testing for the Curve 8900 and it’s definitely one of my most used applications.

Right now it’s only available for the Pearl 8100 series, Curve 8300 and 8900 series, Bold 9000 and Storm 9500 series, but NikkiSoft plans to make it available to the 8800 series and the Tour 9630!

QuickLaunch is available in the store for $4.99.

QuickLaunch has been updated to version 2.09 for the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 series running OS 4.5!

Here are the features in version 2.0:

• Backup / Restore to .txt fil
• Built-in Screen Capture function
• Launch Media Explorer
• Integrated Google, Wikipedia and Dictionary dot com search
• Create Custom Submenus
• More apps and functions to Add
• Display Current Temperature
• Add Items Alphabetically
• Easier Setup with Installed Applications List
• Volume Button Scrolling
• 3 Font sizes – Small, medium and large
• System Menu Integration
• Improved Performance

Users who purchased QuickLaunch after April 1st will be eligible for a free upgrade, those who purchased it before that date can upgrade for $1.99.

QuickLaunch is available for $4.99 in the store and in the on-device Mobile App Store.

This application makes accessing things on your BlackBerry super easy so trust me when I say it is well worth the $5 (or the upgrade fee) if you’re looking to get the most out of your BlackBerry’s convenience keys.

QuickLaunch has been updated to v2.09 for the BlackBerry Storm with some cool new features.

• Orientation Lock
  You can now stop the tilt of the display with the new QL Lock Tilt function. This is great when you’re using the phone in bed for example as you won’t have to worry about the display switching orientations. You can also unlock the orientation at any time. Works on most 3rd Party apps and RIM native applications.
  
• Folder Shortcuts / Launcher
  Now you can configure menu items to launch a folder on your sd card or device memory (similar to folders displayed in media explorer). Launching a folder shortcut will enable you to browse that folder and launch the items in that folder (music, docs, video, spreadsheets, txt files etc). This feature is currently located in ‘Add Applications’ but will be moved out to a separate button in ‘Add Items’ in the next update.
• Revolving Volume Button Scroll Option
  In addition to page up/down and Individual item up and down scrolling you can now configure it to scroll through the entire list and rotate to the top/bottom. For example if you’re at the top item in the list and you hit the volume up button the selection will continue to scroll up from the bottom of the list and visa versa.

If you already have QuickLaunch v2.0 you can get this update for free, anyone with a version earlier than v2.0 will have to pay a version upgrade fee. If you have not yet purchased QuickLaunch it is available in the store for $4.99.

Updates for QuickLaunch will soon be available for other BlackBerry devices, so if you don’t have it yet you should definitely consider getting it since the update is free. It’s a must have application for any BlackBerry user that wants to get the most use out of their convenience keys.

Note: The version in the store currently says v2.08. This is true only for every device except for the BlackBerry Storm. If you download the Storm version you should get v2.09. If you encounter any problems please let me know in the comments and I will forward them to the developer.

QuickLaunch version 2.08 is now available for the BlackBerry Curve 8300 series!

QuickLaunch is an application that I use every day because of its functionality and how it makes it easy to quickly launch things (haha). Here are the new features in version 2.0:

• Backup / Restore to .txt fil
• Built-in Screen Capture function

• Integrated Google, Wikipedia and Dictionary dot com search

I highly recommend this application to everyone who owns a BlackBerry. Let me know what you think of it in the comments!
