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.

YouMail let me know that they have updated their Visual Voicemail Plus app for BlackBerry to version 0.96.1, which is unfortunately only available in the BB App World.

This version should be much faster to use, works much better on phones with limited available memory, and is even more reliable – the top issues that our users have asked us to address!

It’s faster because now you can do key functions simply using shortcut keys, letting you fly through your voicemail.

The application is also now much more “memory aware”. Many of you have said that you’re running out of memory on your phones, given all your pictures, music, and other content. Now YouMail behaves much more intelligently when your phone or external memory reaches capacity, by doing things like on-demand downloading when memory gets full and removing the audio for your oldest messages from the phone – while keeping them stored safely and securely and accessible online at YouMail.

Inbox Shortcut Keys

• Alt-Del : Delete Message
• F : Forward Message
• S : Save Message
• X: Move to Spam Folder
• T: Scroll to the top of the list
• B : Scroll to the bottom of the list
• Space : Open message

Message Playback Shortcut Keys

• Alt-Del : Delete Message
• F : Forward Message
• S : Save Message
• X: Move to Spam Folder
• N : Next Message
• P : Previous Message
• Space : Play/Pause
• Send Key: Switch to Speaker/Headset

I’ve been using YouMail for over a year and a half now and am very pleased with it considering that their basic services are available for free.

Head on over to YouMail.com to sign up for an account and check out their online site or grab the latest version of the BlackBerry app in the BB App World.

Steelthorn Software has released IntelliBerry, a smart shortcuts application that learns your application habits!

From the description:

IntelliBerry is a sleek new application that allows you to instantly find and launch any application, file, or contact on your BlackBerry device. Unlike other applications, IntelliBerry requires NO setup! Instead Intelliberry uses its intelligent framework to learn what you use the most and to adapt to find what you are looking for!

IntelliBerry also takes mere shortcuts to the next level by creating an interactive shortcut system we call Magic Words. You can do things such as simply “g spain” to instantly launch the browser with a mobile optomized Google search for the word “spain”. Not convinced? Type “w europe” to launch a Wikipedia Mobile to bring up the article on Europe. Don’t forget “a gps” to find that GPS on Amazon to take with you. Magic Words enable you to do more and do it faster. You can even add your own custom Magic Words. The possibilies are endless!

Features:

• No Setup Required! Install and enjoy the benefits instantly.
• Easily find applications by name instead of search through folders for an icon.
• “Magic Words” let you use interactive shortcuts to accomplish longer tasks in fractional time!
• Smart-search framework “learns” to adapt the application to your usage patterns
• Run applications from any screen. No need to ALT-Tab constantly to the Home Screen.
• Unique application flow lets you take full advantage of both your keyboard and trackball.
• Contact results let you instant call/sms/email/pin your contacts
• Ability to search files! (System and external memory cards)
• And much more…
• Free 4 day trial!

Minimum Requirements:
