Hint: I created a subfolder in the shortcut folder for the installation files. Then I just use the Explore feature in Media to browse to the .jad file for the shortcut I want to install. Click on the .jad file and it will install the shortcut to the device just like an OTA install. This way I can add/remove shortcut apps without having to go back to the pc and use desktop manager.

Now if I could only find a way to edit the config.xml on the device itself.

Also, one thing I failed to mention is that with this new version you will not have to reenter all your shortcuts after an OS upgrade. The shortcut apps should be backed up and restored and the rest is on your card so they will "just work" again.
