Smart Taskbar V0.5.0 Preview

In Smart Taskbar V0.5.0, I will include an exciting feature which allows user to use their widgets in Iphone way, that is, click on a widget icon from Smart Taskbar List and launch it just like how app is launched. In some way, it is not as convenient to use widget as most home replacement  because with my design, user needs to actually click on a widget icon before he can use the widget. But isn’t it the way Iphone does? In addition, if you have 100+ or a lot of widgets installed, you won’t be able to put all of them on your home. So number of desktop limits the number of widget you can actually use. But anyway, this is just a first step and I will improve the usability of this design later. I hereby attached some screen shot taken from my in testing work.

Smart Taskbar

2 Steps instant access to any app in your Android phone

Smart Taskbar is a – super launcher, task switcher, and also an app organizer that you can quickly call up anywhere without leaving current running app by swipe the edge of screen or by clicking a transparent trigger icon on screen. In most cases, you can complete app launching in 2 finger clicks (1st swipe, and 2nd click on app icon to launch). Possibly the fastest way to quickly launch or switch between applications.

One thing good about this is that it doesn’t hijacks your home button for activation nor does it require you to drag down status bar and click on something to activate. The user experience with this app is purely tocuh based.

It is possibly first in its class, compared to rest of home replacement, app launcher, and task switcher in Android Market.Once get use to this app, you can launch application just like firing a fully automatic machine gun. You want to launch browser, swipe click and bang you are there.

Smart Taskbar comes with following features
(1) 5 speedy launch spots for 2 steps quick launch
(2) App organizer function built in
(3) Task switch
(4) super speedy launcher
(5) Software home button (To prevent H/W home button from tear and wear)
(6) True multitask experience!

Reason why to use Smart Taskbar:
(1) Free up your home screen for more widgets instead of app shortcuts
(2) A better way to organize app in to groups
(3) Need a faster way to launch your app
(4) Missing the multi tasking in Palm Pre
(5) Don’t want to press hardware button too frequently
