Bubbles is a fun and efficient way to take a shortcut to timely or useful things on your phone.  Bubbles appears when you press the "Apps" key while your device is in sleep mode (instead of the black screen with clock and unlock button).  Simply grab a bubble and drag it to one of the available drop points to initiate the corresponding action.

Updated 26.05.2011

New in this release (see blog post):

• Smart installer support with official Qt version.
• Settings dialog to activate/deactivate bubbles.
• Bubble view can be deactivated with menu/power key press to return screensaver immediately.
• Reduced timeout to bring secondary drop points visible.
