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.

Last week the official BlackBerry Twitter account “accidentally” sent out a tweet saying that the BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac was available for download. Since then there hasn’t been much chatter about BBDM for Mac, but BGR has gotten a tip that it will be releasing on September 25th.

A recap of the key features:

• Sync your iTunes® playlists, calendars, contacts, notes and tasks
• Add/Remove applications
• Update your device when new software becomes available
• Backup and restore your device data with such features like automatically scheduled backups and optional encryption (security is #1 as always…)
• Manage multiple devices

If you absolutely can’t wait for it to be officially released, I hear the leaked version of BBDM for Mac works pretty well.

My buddy Fabian Heuwieser has updated his popular LaterDude Pro app for BlackBerry with the following changes:

• Set Events not only to the Calendar App but also to the Task App
• Set the due-date of the Task as well
• You are now able to set the standard length of an Event
• Option to show the whole email body or just the subject in the Notes field
• Free Trial Version where you can start the app 10 times
• Help Text included in the Application
• More times added to select from
• Menu only visible in the following Menus: Call Log, Messages, Text Messages, Contacts
• Many bugs fixed

This is an easy to use app that reminds you to call, SMS or email someone by adding a new event to your BlackBerry Calendar.

LaterDude Pro is currently available in the store for $1.11 today only, after today it goes up to $2.95. Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments!
