I made a hotkey application for my s620. On my phone, it is assigned to the IE button. It pops up an image of the keyboard (see image below), and each labeled key on the s620 launches an app. There are keys for celeTask, tasks, contacts, camera, voicenote, oneNote, wikidepia, wordnet, settings. The little 'x' on the P key closes the window.

To install, you have to copy the application to somewhere on your phone, and create a shortcut to it in the \windows directory, called short_IE
(make a backup of your old short_IE - on rickwatt's wm6.1 it is a link to celeTask.exe)

I just wrote it today, so it is in very early alpha stage. Currently there is no way to edit which button does what, and which icon is displayed on the button.
The little mario guy launches PocketSNES, which has to be located in \Storage Card\Program Files\PocketSNES.exe
The 2 and 3 keys launch mobipocket on
\Storage Card\EBOOKS\wpmp-en\wpenx1.prc
and
\Storage Card\EBOOKS\Wordnet-DICT.prc

These are the english wikipedia and wordnet. If you don't have them installed, it will simply launch mobipocket, I think.

Other than this, all icons should work on rickwyatt's wm6.1

As I said, it is extremely rough for now. If there's interest, I'll make it more configurable.

It is also quite big relative to, say, HButton. This is because of the image displayed. But it still seems to popup quickly.

neat idea!!!

not right for me exactly (i don't use all those apps)... but very cool. well done.

the next step, i'd think, if at all possible, would be to make it so you could assign whatever you wanted to each of the keys via the phone itself in this easy GUI type of interface.

very cool though. well done!
