If you're like me, you want to see your email and SMS right as it comes into your device without having to go into the repsective app. For that, Super Popup is my new hero. The new app from ShaoSoft allows you to set a popup for email and SMS so you can instantly preview your messages no matter where you are on your device. You can choose to reply, delete or forward emails right from the popup so you won't even have to open the message itself. Other features include:
- Auto mark e-mails as read after dismissing the popup.
- Pop-ups can be set to 3 mode: Interactive, Non-interactive, Interactive on Home Screen.
- Built in animations for e-mail and SMS icons, or use contact pictures.
- Option to customize the time to display a popup on screen for.
- Turn on the backlight when a new message arrives.
- Customize the font size for the message preview.
- Quick keyboard shortcuts.
Super Popup has a very small footprint and once you set it up you won't even know it's there. You can grab it now for $1.99 in BlackBerry App World. You know you want to.
