A Simple But Powerful Launcher for Windows Mobile

2009-03-16
hey guys its brand amendment from pocket now calm and in this video I'm going to show you a very simple but very useful program launched are called launch manager it's made by fantastic bites software and the idea is that you map it to a key on your device so right now I haven't mapped to the call start button and basically it's comprised of different customizable panels so if you swipe to the right here's favorites and these are the people that I call on a regular basis and if I want to add a favorite I can tap on any of these shortcut buttons and I can place a different kind of shortcut so I can do a program shortcut a quick phone call a quick text message page shortcut setting shortcut so you can have a turn on Bluetooth or turn on Wi-Fi I'm going to do a phone call contact since this is my favorites tab and I'm going to click on browse so I can get into my contacts I'm going to find a contact that I want to use and i'm going to use be minun myself and i'm going to click ok and now we will have a new button that says called be minimun so if I swipe to the right I will get the programs tab and again this is all customizable if I swipe to the right again I get other programs may be secondary programs that you don't use as often as the previous one and to the right we have the quick quick SMS panel which I've customized for the five people that I SMS the most the idea here is that you set this to a button on your device and use your thumb to quickly swipe between the different panels now let me show you how you customize this so if you go into settings and if we go into pages you can set up the names of the pages so perhaps you want one for family and one for friends or 14 just programs and one for the people that you SMS the most it's very easy to add new pages if we go over to shortcuts we can specify which shortcuts are on which panel and another great feature is that you can actually set a custom icon to any of these little tiles so if I go back to the my favorites tab and I put in a new quick phone call contact and I find someone that I want to call I can actually go over to icon and change the icon so the what I have then is a row of customize icons with little pictures of the people that I call one final note on settings is that you can change the look of the whole interface if you go into settings and we go over to appearance we can change it to the different skin so this is the default skin and this just adds to the number of icons that you get so instead of a row of two by four now you get a row of three by five so basically this program will work on any windows mobile touchscreen device vga resolution qvj wvga pretty much everything originally this program cost $15 and I thought it was kind of outrageous so I email the developer and the we're willing to make the price five dollars for pocket now readers so I'm going to post a link on pocketnow.com on how to get this for five dollars I think it's actually worth it for that price because it's a really powerful way to access things that you use on your device a lot
