My Favorite Task Manager Jbak Taskman Gets Updated To 1.0

In case your new to this blog or just haven't read my article about why I love Jbak Taskman and how it's changed the way I use my N82 - then you gotta read it here. It's become my favorite application that I really can't be without. Every time I get a new device to test out I install it, as well as recommend it to new S60 fans. It replaces the menu key on my N82 - instead of going to the S60 Menu I am now taken to the Jbak screen where I can see open applications and tons of my favorites all on one screen.

It's recently been updated to version 1.0 and is already Symbian Signed. No need to have to worry about certificates. There are a few really good improvements over the last version I showed you. My favorite - now you can make shortcuts to specific contacts, emails, url, sms, and mms.

Example - you can create a one-touch shortcut to text a specific person, and even have pre-written text at the beginning (or end) of the sms if you'd like for common contacts. You can create a whole new set of shortcuts to direct urls that will open in the S60 browser. The possibilities are endless.

You can see all open apps, hide apps, view chunks & processes (for developers) - all this will help maintain your phone alot better.

Like I said - when I push my menu button it no longer takes me to the S60 menu. Instead it goes straight to Jbak and I have my first shortcut as the S60 menu just in case I ever need it. Of course if you'd rather keep it normal you can just have Jbak open after a Menu longpress to see open tasks and more shortcuts.

This new version is also better at handling memory and keeping your phone stable.

Check out the official feature set straight from Jbak:

- Ultimate replacement of standard task list, which called by menu-key long press.
- Customisable quick launch, where you can add program, document, phone number, SMS and e-mail.
