Trying something new? I don't think so. Windows 7 does the split screen. Been there, done that and it's no longer new.

At last some real, Windows like multitasking in Android. Perhaps the upcoming Windows Surface devices are pushing them towards more innovation?

Isn't it ironic that everyone is oooohing and aaaahing over features that both Windows and MacOS has been doing for years? Split screens? How about multiple, movable, resizable windows, decent cut and paste, and drag and drop.

Well, Steve Jobs took these away from us (when he dumbed down devices others followed) and now they are coming back. Why shouldn't we rejoice, I have always wanted mobile devices to be more PC like -- as in full multi-tasking and with multiple windows (on tablets).

That being said, the screen resolution is very disappointing, so is the use of a dual-core processor. Oops, it is a quad-core, as I just found out.

The multi screen only works with a handful of apps..all samsung made..and Samsung is terrible at supporting their devices.. I'd probably still pull the trigger at a higher resolution.. right now im sitting and waiting for more reviews to come in and to see the screen in person.. |

What's sad is the two real leader in the Android space are Asus and Samsung. Samsung is having to tweak the OS to give more flexibility and be more of a consumption based device. And here we have Google trying spending all their energy coping Amazon. Meanwhile the tablet space is left hobbling. |

I'm still not holding my breath.. I really need to see what text, book, pdf's look like..Im ok with pictures at a lower resolution but sharp text is a must for me. Either way, if I buy it it will be with the knowledge Samsung will probably upgraded it to Jelly bean and stop supporting it. |
