There was another one too, back when MeeGo was relevant...can't remember what the company was called.
Remembered it was by Ixonos:

Something like this would be a dream come. In comparison, I believe you can now multitask with unbuntu or your favorite linux image on many androids via VNC. Here the problem is, and please correct me if I'm wrong, using VNC does not work with sound. So much for listening to YouTube while doing some other task. Anyways this appears to not be a problem with Conerstone. I hope they succeed...

If you want a taste of multitasking now, just try stickit. This is a video player which stays in a window, overlaid on other apps.
Can show also multiple videos together

problem with android multitasking is that it kills tasks at will, many times even when there is abundancy of free memory

Good news! It looks like Onskreen is making Cornerstone open source.
If you currently have a Xoom they have an official ROM for you to try. I'd like to hear about folks experience. For other devices they provide the source but you have to incorporate it into a ROM. I'd love to see how this works on a Galaxy Note, Nook Tablet, WHATEVER!

VNC (even local session) on Android chroot is a pain in the *** compared to Easy Debian an Xephyr.
It's slow, there's no OpenGL acceleration, it's really slow and laggy.
It's basically your last resort for running apps that aren't ported to Bionic libc (or apps that aren't compiled statically with libs, but that's another ***-backwards thing)

Face it, android cannot multitask. It is an OS for idiots who are incapable of doing more than one thing at a time.

So the father of Linux is an idiot who is incapable of doing more than one thing at a time. Got it.

In the gingerbread demo the guy has 3 apps on screen and is reading email/pictures while a youtube is going on in the bkground...
target is tablets, but wonder if it will work on something big like the galaxy note...
