The idea for QuickView was born from the desire to have on the BlackBerry the PlayBook gesture that shows the status bar. With QuickView on your BlackBerry, you can now pull down a banner of information from most applications by using the physical keys on the side. After having this quick access to information, we decided to take it further by using the best feature of the BlackBerry smartphone, the physical keyboard. When the QuickView banner is displayed, you can type a command to access even more information or create new information. We believe there are times when typing something can be faster than navigating a screen, and we have tried to make this true with QuickView. With QuickView, you can create a new calendar appointment or new task faster than with the native BlackBerry applications. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
