QuickLaunch ver.4が公開されました。
ver.3から4への有償アップデートで、今回のバージョンからAppWorldのみでの取扱いとなりました。
Mobihandからの買い直しユーザーも居るので、少しの間だけ$1.99で提供し次に$2.99、その後定価の$4.99にするとの事。
私はMobihandからの買い直しとなるのでAppWorldで検索してバージョンアップしました。
ただ、現在アプリ紹介ページでは158円になっていますが、支払いは定価の383円請求されるので注意してください。
（いつもの癖でそのまま流してしまい定価で購入してしまいましたが、これはAppWorldの対応の遅れで改善される見込みだそうですw）
↑請求額も153円になりました！
追って使用感など紹介したいと思いますが、とりあえずフォーラムから更新内容を引用しておきますw。
■QuickLaunch – BlackBerry App World
Universal Search Integration
You can now add any QL item to the Universal Search Engine. (see screenshots below)
When you add items to QuickLaunch and select the option to add to universal search that item will appear if you type a string of characters from the QL item on the homescreen. For example if you’ve added “Call Nikki” and “Email NikkiSoft” to QL and you type ‘nik’ in universal search the associated QL Items will appear and you can launch them immediately without opening QuickLaunch. Very handy for devices w/ one convenience key.
When adding an item you can choose from the following:
Add to QL – item will appear on in the QL menu
Add to Universal Search – item will not appear in QL but will be available in Universal Search
Add to QL and Universal Search – item will appear in QL and Universal Search
There is also a button in the options screen where when clicked will displayed all the items you’ve added to universal search and you can delete them from there.
Mobile Hotspot Toggle
If you have OS 7.1 you can quickly turn your hotspot on or off
Larger Font Added
Added a new font size, ‘Largest’. Should be big enough for those who need a larger font. (see screenshots)
~Shake Launch™~
You can now configure an app, shortcut, function or any other QL item to launch by shaking your phone.
When adding an item to QL check the ‘Set as Shake Launch Item’ option. In addition you must enable ‘Shake Detection’ in QL Options. If you are not using Shake Launch™ then set disable the shake detection option.
To use Shake Launch™ just open QL and shake!

Homescreen Wallpaper Cycler
QuickLaunch can now be configured to automatically cycle your homescreen wallpaper. Choose the directory on your device for your wallpaper images, and enable the option and you’re good to go.
The QL Wallpaper Changer does NOT run in the background. It’s magic.
More Apps appear in Add Items
Some apps that didnt appear in the list now show up. I forgot which ones. sorry.
Bug Fixes
Lots of issues, most of which were due to OS7 were addressed. Among them scheduled reboot, launching some items, toggles, screen capture, and a lot more. I didn’t keep a detailed list of bug fixes over the last few months
Improved Performance
A lot of rework was done on the code making QL faster and smoother. Those of you who use QL a lot should notice better performance. Also the file size of version 4 is just about the same as version 3 (just a little bit larger) which is a pretty good feat of engineering even if I do say so myself given all the new features v4 has included. QL is still very small and noninvasive
The Best keeps getting better.
