QTask Application Manager Released

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.qoolapps.com/QTask.html' target='_blank'>http://www.qoolapps.com/QTask.html</a><br /><br /></div><i>"QTask is the ultimate time saver. It allows users to instantly kill, switch to, and launch applications. Normally, it takes 7-10 keystrokes and about 10 seconds to kill a running application; with QTask, you can acomplish this task in less than a second by double tapping a hotkey. You can also flip back and forth between apps and cycle through your apps using hotkeys. All hotkeys are customizable."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Jerry-QTask_1_03_Apps.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />This looks like another great application from QoolApps for the Motorola Q. I'm a big fan of their QCaps application. It looks like they are working on a Q cut and paste application as well. Head on over to our affiliate store and give this a try! There is a trial version as well and you can get it <a href="http://software.smartphonethoughts.com/product.asp?id=8997">here.</a>

I loaded this on the i320 and it seems to work just fine. :D

This is the best task manager available for the Q, easily supplanting my previous task manager of choice - xBar (IMHO).

I agree, so far I am impressed with it.

Does this app show actual battery percentage remaining or just 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% like the others do? Maybe this is a limitation of the Q or Smartphone OS?

[Jerry Raia]

I hadn't even noticed that. I'll watch it today! :)

Looks like I spoke too soon. Since I loaded this app I've had a problem using my keyboard after any length of time. If I reboot it will work again for a while but if I let the device sit for a couple hours it was hosed. I uninstalled this morning and everything has been fine since.

Too bad, I kind of liked it.

[Jerry Raia]

They just updated it. Don't know if the new version will help you though.

BTW you non-Q fanboys, this works fine on my SDA. You just have to reconfigure the keys that make this little application pretty neat.

Now, back to more regularly scheduled Motorola Q love. :D

New version is 1.04, I forgot to mention.

BTW, the Dash comes with a pretty full-featured task manager that shows actual percentage of battery left.

Wow!? Has HTC actually updated their task manager? That's a nice change. ;)

It just shows 100%, 75% etc. :?

I haven't used any HTC branded devices before, so I don't have anything to compare, but it's version 1.22 (Build 24648).

That's just how the device reports it. It's a limitation of the device most likely. Any other program that shows anything different than that is just extrapolating a number based on your average drain rate.

I just ordered a Dash and we'll be making our apps for the Dash/Excalibur soon.
