During my weekend trip to Singapore, I (mostly) involuntarily found myself in the midst of many Blackberry VS iPhone debates. The iPhone of course is better, but it was entertaining to hear Blackberry owners attempt to argue how the Blackberry was superior for things like business and data input while the iPhone was mostly just a glorified games machine…

One thing that Blackberry users wished they had was more emoticons for messaging applications such as Whatsapp (which has only recently become available on Blackberry). Thinking about what to blog about, I stumbled across this best seller in our Mobile Software store that addresses this problem – Fancy Characters for Blackberry. With this application on your Blackberry, you’ll no longer be envious of iPhoners and their emoticons; you’ll be able to pimp up your messages like theirs, finally!

KBLauncher is an application launcher and switcher. It lets you very quickly run any of your dozens of commands by typing the beginning of its name. In short, it is a command line for your BlackBerry.

Like many BlackBerry users, you are good at typing. Your keyboard kung fu leaves onlookers in awe. Your fingers are a blur of motion. But when it’s time run one of your many great apps on your BlackBerry, you have to scroll painfully through countless icons with your trackball. You know exactly what you want: why do you have to waste all this time? Now you don’t. Just configure one of your convenience keys to start KBLauncher, and your apps will always be just a few keystrokes away.

Behind the deceptively simple user interface is a sophisticated application detection engine. With no effort on your part, KBLauncher will detect both installed and running applications on your phone. You can seamlessly run installed applications, switch to running applications or execute special commands by typing the first few letters (or even one letter) of the command. When your command is up, just hit Enter. KBLauncher will adapt to your usage pattern and offer your most recently used commands first.

I encourage you to take advantage of the 7 day FREE trial to see if KBLauncher is for you. You may never look at your icons list the same way again.

New in version 1.1:

• Better font sizes for high resolution screens
• Configurable fonts and colors
• Power search: hold down your shift key to match the first letter of each word. For example, type Shift-BAW to match “BlackBerry App World”.
• Ensure apps launch in the foreground

Features of KBLauncher for Blackberry:

• Fast command access
• No setup. KBLauncher automatically detects installed and running apps
• KBLauncher learns from your usage by prioritizing your recently used commands
• Works on SureType keyboard layouts (Pearl, Pearl Flip, Storm)
• Cool transparent window effects
• Run commands not normally available on your Home screen: WiFi toggle, memory cleaner
• Low memory requirements: tiny install footprint!

Minimum Requirements of KBLauncher:

• OS 4.2.2 and newer

Daviburt

Before I installed this on my Storm 9530, I was having slowness issues, and having to pull battery at least once a day, so I thought this app would be perfect. I purchased it, installed it, and within 2 hours I removed it from my phone. It kept my app memory at a constant 0kb, caused numerous hour glasses freezes, and drained my battery from half to almost dead within that 2 hours of installing it. I’m glad it’s working for other people, but this didn’t work for me in the least.
