Galaxy note 2 users can now operate phone in split screen mode

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_wfOcA8Agk

Choose an app from side bar and drag in to open new window.

Not going to get into a debate about "multitasking" under the hood, but with split screen for apps means you can do more then 1 thing at once.

You could do this by overskreen browser somewhat currently, but this is "official" support i guess.

If this doesnt get ported to note 1 properly note 2 is a buy for me - you can use spen memo on bottom and copy and drag stuff from top.

I don't think it'll get ported to the note1.

But Samsung will update the note1 to JellyBean, with "premium suite" gimmicks and this jewel would be included. The update should come "before 2013" but that's a big doubt.

I think they're more likely to push it through Q1 next year.

Now, that is real real multitasking.

Very cool. Would love that in note 1.

@kangal how do you know this is included in premium suite. I thought that was more of a concept for spen related software?

This feature is IMO best suited to tablets and of course phablets like the Note...

Bring it to a 4 or even 4.3" screen and you have too much non-workable area...

True, but that goes for evertying. All content is better on a bigger screen.

But this would be very usable on 4 screen as well. Especially if you also have an physical keyboard not jumping up on the screen Sally the time.

Bring this to all phones as soon as possible.

yea i agree about it not working for smaller screens

perfect for note though, and something that no other phone really offers.

waiting for 32gb or buy now ? hmmm
