Desk on steroids

One of AAS's biggest friends, Arjen Broeze, has completed a big update of his free iDesk utility, which (and I quote) "provides customizable hotkeys for every internal function, application, file or folder, and contains a built-in task manager, task switcher, password manager and note taker". And it's all written in OPL, which is amazing. More info here.

Read on in the full article.

This is a great freeware programme, which I have now found to be indispensable, after using it for a couple of months. The ability to configure hot keys the way I want them is much better than having the developer use the traditional Ctrl+Chr+?? as this is impossible to use when you are holding the device in your hands.

The Password store is also very handy - especially for the new PIN system for credit cards. I find it impossible to remember all the numbers and it is very handy to be able to whip out my 9500 and look up the PIN when I am in the queue for the till at the petol station etc.

Arjen is great for implementing suggestions also.

Martin
