Springlets! They are tiny apps for your iPhone’s Home Screen that help save you time. For example, lets say you want to view the wikipedia page for Applesauce. The old way would have you opening Safari, tapping the search field, typing in “Applesauce Wikipedia,” waiting for the google search results to load, tapping the proper entry, and waiting for the wikipedia page to load. The Springlets way skips right over a lot of those steps — you’d tap the WikiSearch icon on your homescreen, type in the word “Applesauce” in the resulting dialog box, and you’re whisked away to the appropriate page. This saves precious time! We’ve got Search Springlets for Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” feature, Chowhound’s message boards of amazing food, and IMDb’s archive of cinematic trivia.

Along with the Search Springlets, there are two others. The first is a speed dialer. You enter in a phone number and a name and suddenly you can have a way to dial a frequently used number without even opening the Phone app. The other Springlet uses Google’s Mobile Proxy to load just the text of any web page. This is particularly handy with image-rich sites that take forever to load over edge. Just tap your Just Text Springlet, enter the URL of the site you want to visit, and it’ll appear nice and quickly.
