Download from Android Market: Smart Taskbar
or
With QR barcode


Smart Taskbar is a - super launcher, task switcher, and also an app organizer that you can quickly call up on any window 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.

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

Ok.. I played with this a bit.. not bad. Seemed to freeze up on my HTC Eris to often for my liking (but in all fairness to the developer I do push my Eris to its limits.. Rooted, Overclocked, lots of apps etc).

Also thought that there when to many tool bars.. I like things cleaner looking.. I felt some of the tool bar items should be made available by pressing the menu button. Other then that I liked the concept very much.

Clean it up a bIt and I would give it another try.

Thanks for your comment. I will for sure clean up the main setup interface a bit soon.

It would be great if you could post this in the "Let me show you my app" section of the forums instead of "Android Apps", as that is the location for showing off an app.

The app looks like it might be helpful for some people, but I usually can get to an app in 3 clicks, so I don't know if saving one click is really something I need. Regardless, I will test it in the next couple of days when I have time, but right now I am busy at Berlin IFA blogging for AndroidPIT.
