There are a lot of great shortcut applications out there such as QuickLaunch that allow you create shortcuts for apps, various commands, contacts, etc – but we haven’t seen it where customized touchscreen movement launched one of those. GesturePad is a touchscreen BlackBerry exclusive app (at only 99 cents) that lets you designate certain gestures for specific apps, contacts, composing email, contact, and more. And by gestures, it lets you draw out the exact gesture you want that will execute whatever you set it up to. Here are the features:

Unlimited number of custom gestures can be added
Gesture to compose an email to a specific address
Gesture to compose an SMS to a specific number
Gesture to call a specific phone number
Gesture to show all of a person’s contact information
Gesture to open a specific website
Gesture to launch an application
Option to have a confirmation prompt after gesture
Option to have the application close once the gesture is recognized and the action is performed
Ability to modify or delete gestures after you have created them
The simplest way to get things done!

So it’s pretty straight forward, and I will definitely give the app a shot on the BlackBerry Torch as I already use QuickLaunch, but this might be more efficient with the touchscreen.
