It has been awhile since I mentioned ShortcutMe so when Tom told me about this update I decided to mention it. ShortcutMe is a very useful shortcut menu application that lets you easily create fast links to your most used areas on the BlackBerry OS. It is a very handy app especially for the $4.99 price and is truly invaluable on the Storm even though it works on other devices.
New in this version is the ability to:
- Create shortcuts to any folder or file on your Blackberry memory or micro SD card (FileLauncher, FolderShortcut) .
- Create shortcuts to Media Explorer (Media_Explorer, Media_Music, etc)
- Create shortcut to toggle all wireless radios (including WiFi and Bluetooth) simultaneously. Useful for travelers (AirplaneMode_Toggle).
- Create Shortcuts to toggle Bluetooth (Bluetooth_Toggle)
- Create shortcuts to Bluetooth Config page (Bluetooth_Config).
- Create shortcuts to GPS Config page. Easier to toggle GPS. (GPS_Config)
- Create shortcuts to any item on the BlackBerry Options page (Options_SubPage).
- Alternative launching mechanism allows users to enforce a different launching mechanism to launch apps that previously could not be launched.
- Embedded examples showing how to create a shortcut and how to set a proper parameter.
- More colors to choose from for your shortcuts.
- Easier to create shortcuts with the new user friendly interface.
- File explorer for easily picking up a link to files or folders when creating/editing a shortcut.
- Possibility to easily remove all pre-programmed shortcuts and start from scratch.
- Possibility to remove several shortcuts at once.
- Support for launching BlackBerry Wallet.

It looks like owners of v2.0 have to pay for this upgrade. Can you confirm this? Thanks.
