Everyone has their own favourite features they access all the time on their mobile, but there’s only so much you can cram onto convenience keys and home screens. This great productivity tool called QuickLaunch by NikkiSoft lets you configure a secondary menu holding not only your favourite applications on the BlackBerry Storm, but website URLs, address book entries, and tasks like clearing the call log. As evidenced by the demo video, it takes some work to get this thing fully customized, but is well worth it if you find that there are some tasks that you do time and again that you would rather not have to go through the usual steps to access. QuickLaunch is available for the BlackBerry 9530 and 9500 for $4.99, but we can surely expect it on other devices soon.
