Starts applications from "command line"
This program will delight those who are accustomed to the speed of the command line in your computer. PetitLaunch is an application launcher, but very peculiar: we can start programs by typing its name into a command line. In addition, full name, as it automatically writing, from the first character. For example, we run the calculator, and for this we have to type "calc". If we do not have the list in another program that begins with the letter "c", just type "c" will be completed "calc" and will launch the calculator. If there are more choices, we just have to write more letters until it is unambiguously defined.
We can show that command line at any time, simply by combining one of the buttons on the Palm to the event in shaping the program. So we'll never have to leave the program where we stand, to go to the Palm launcher and elect him. Simply click the button set, then see a window and write one or two letters, press the center button Directional pad of, and that's it. Even have the option of running the program in the name is defined, without clicking accept. Faster impossible.
I typed "c" and it starts the calculator. Without leaving the launcher.
To increase the likelihood, it also allows to link the buttons on the Palm to the programs that we use most often: we press the button that shows the command line, then the application, and boot directly. Ideal for when we have the Palm in your pocket, and we want to, for example, go to the MP3 player without having to stop, take it out of pocket, take the stylus, and the search program.
The only snag is that I have found is that it does not directly seeking the names of the applications. We will have to define how we run each command, which gives the opportunity to include only the most common, and thus the function to automatically become more efficient. You can also define system commands (copy, paste, etc.) and even DAS (Desktop Accessories).
The program is free, and can be found in Freewarepalm.com.

Oh yeah, just what I needed to, coincidentally was looking for some kind of "launcher" in addition to the launch anywhere to access my applications from anywhere else without using the launcher from my TX to avoid leaving the program.
I see it as a very useful and time-saving.
