Neil just let me know about a post he put up on CrackBerry Forums announcing a public beta of BBSmart Shortcuts 1.4. This is intended to fix bugs and add two really nice new features. I was really waiting for the first one to add all the applications I use that were not in the previous release.

From Neil’s post:

We’ve got a v1.4.0 beta of BBSmart Shortcuts that we’d love to get some testing on if you’re interested! Please note this is just a beta version and is not the official v1.4 release. If you don’t like living on the edge of your seat please don’t install this and wait for the official v1.4 release instead

Main changes include
* Ability to add a whole swag of native & RIM developed applications to the toolbar
* Ability to paste URL’s

And several other minor fixes and touch-ups.

How to install
You can install the update from the following OTA site:
http://www.blackberrysmart.com/shortcuts140/Shortcuts.jad

You can install over the top of v1.3 and all your existing shortcuts should be preserved.

Feedback
Please note that v1.4 is now in feature freeze, which means that of course while I do encourage you to submit additional feature requests they will not be included in this release. Future one, promise! The main aim with this release is just to track down any bugs, reliability testing, etc.

Since this is just a minor release, we won’t be doing the usual giveaway of free copies to beta testers, etc. We’ll do that for the releases of major versions (2.0, 3.0, etc.)

Leave him some feedback in the forums if you do install.

    Awesome product. No problems just yet, but two suggestions;

    1. It would be cool if you could click on the catogories with the track ball and the add a short cut.

    2. When adding an URL shortcut, the bookmarks and/ browser cache auto populates as you typezm
