QuickSwitch v.1.52 Review By William| Reporter Date: 12/06/2006  QuickSwitch™ 1.52 enables you to activate applications with a tap of a button, giving you fast access to frequently used applications. QuickSwitch™ 1.52 has been tested on all Palm OS devices running OS 3.1 or later, including the Palm, HandEra 330, and the Sony Clie™ family of devices. Configuring QuickSwitch™ Buttons After QuickSwitch™ is installed, the buttons must be configured to operate correctly. From the launcher, tap the QuickSwitch™ icon to launch the application. The main window is displayed.     In the main window, the five buttons available for customization are displayed. Below each button's name is a list of the applications assigned to it. To configure a particular button, tap within the rectangle containing its icon. If a button name is drawn in bold faced type, that button is enabled, if drawn in plain text, it's disabled. The Button Details window is displayed.

Adding Applications

In the Button Details window, a list is displayed containing the applications assigned to the selected button. To add an application to the list, tap the Add Application button.
 

 

A popup list of all applications installed on your handheld will appear. Select one to add it to the list.

Confirming your changes

Tap the OK button to confirm changes made in a button list.

Using QuickSwitch™ to Access Applications

After the buttons have been configured correctly, exit QuickSwitch™ by tapping the Home icon. Press any configured button. The first press will open the first application on that button’s QuickSwitch™ list. Press it again, and the second application will be opened. Subsequent button presses will cycle through the remaining applications, returning to the first on the list at the end of the cycle. Pressing and holding a configured button will display a popup list of all the applications available for that button. Select an item from the popup list to open it directly.
 

Memory Card Options

QuickSwitch™ supports memory cards on newer handhelds running Palm OS 4.0® (such as the Palm m500 and m505 devices). Applications installed on the memory cards will be available to add to each button. When you select a card-based application, it will be launched as normal.
