Contest: ShortcutMe Gets an Update - 50 Free Copies!

By Ryan Blundell on 10 Jul 2009 01:34 pm

Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win!

Near the end of May, we had a look at one of the shortcut applications available for the BlackBerry smartphone - ShortcutMe. Amongst its many features, the application allows you to add multiple shortcuts to one or both of your convenience keys. You can find ShortcutMe at the CrackBerry App Store. Sam from Fonware Ltd let me know that they've added a slew of requested features in recent updates. Here is a sample of the additions now available since our initial review:

Create shortcut to toggle Bluetooth
Airplane toggle mode: double click the convenience key to toggle all radios before boarding and after leaving the plane
Create shortcut to GPS Configuration page which makes it easier to toggle GPS and conserve battery life
New transparent, easy to use interface
Take screenshot images
View 5 day weather forecast for up to 4 cities
Create shortcuts to Media Explorer
Support for launching BlackBerry Wallet

We have 50 free copies of ShortcutMe to give away; all you have to do is leave a comment on this post for a chance to win. Contest entry ends Sunday at Midnight PST.

I really like the color scheme !

pharmer5 Jul 10, 2009 at 6:43 pm

Why did it take this long for someone to come up with this idea?

berry_bliss Jul 10, 2009 at 6:50 pm

I love shortcut apps. I have just installed 'quicklaunch' and I love the easy access to the features that I use most. ShortcutMe. sounds like a great app to give more freedom as to what your convenience keys can do. Definitely worth a try :)

Would love this app for weather and to increase my speed dial list!!!

tmp3150 Jul 10, 2009 at 10:31 pm

Great application. Short cuts are always the best way to go when running an application and not to mention the customization for this application is nothing short of fantastic.

I don't think I could be happier (well unless I got a copy of this free :-) )

cmlnrowan Jul 10, 2009 at 10:43 pm

Can I have it?

Actually, I'm a keyboard maniac. Anything I can get done without touching the wheel/pearl is great, so this would be perfect for me!

Thanks for the chance.

tons-q Jul 10, 2009 at 10:51 pm

The 2 convenience keys on most current BlackBerry models are not enough!
Well, 2 might be enough, if they could point to more than 2 apps, throuhg double, triple, etc clicks!!!!
This apps fixed the inherent limitation a BlackBerry has!
Simply genius! :D
