Hi all,
I've already posted this in the N7000 forum and I guess most of you are new here so I don't want you guys to miss out on this really cool find.
Since the note has such a big screen why not push the boundaries and try out some try desktop-style multitasking
Check out the video to see what it's all about.

Of course, it's android gingerbread. If you're referring to the 3D UI, I have a galaxy note tutorial on my channel here:

Hey I just want to say thanks for sharing this with us! It is very nice to have someone from the International Note forum share the true awesomeness of our devices! Much better than just "oh I forgot this is AT&T note, your device is crap"
coldfustion has the best vid's. tx for sharing it! i ASSume our snapdragon processor can do the same thing, maybe with a touch of lag, maybe not.
i was at a family dinner Friday and i can never think how to show off the phone as everyone is asking me about it. his vid's always give me new ideas
Halleluja! I've been asking for something like this for months. See my split screen/multiview thread in the N7000's theme/app forum. Now please add a couple features:
1. "Snap" like Windows 7 Ultimate has, but slightly different. Make it so that when you drag the app's title bar to a side, it snaps to fully fill the screen halfway on that side. Dragging to a corner makes the window snap to fully fill that 1/4 of the screen. If you have the screen filled with 2 windows (or 3 or 4), make it so you can drag the border between windows and they'll automatically resize at the same time to maintain the screen filled.
2. Have the notification bar pull down over all windows.
If you add these features and make it work, I'll buy a copy for $50.
P.S. Why in the world, if the Note's capable of running all of that at the same time, did Samsung feel the need for such aggressive RAM management that I can't currently switch from my browser window to email, one other app, then back to the browser without my entire browsing session being closed down!?
oh, didnt know this was a promotion for a bunch of PAID apps
thanks anyway

Lol I didn't make the programs, but I think I'm going to be a dev soon. I would rip up so many killer apps

some ppl just expect things for free most of us are appreciative Jim.
Just bought the browser version. For $1.50, why not?
Honestly I can't see myself using this on my note even though we have the biggest screen size of any phones. I can see this being useful for tablets or for showing off to my iphone buddies!

Jim, apparently that will not work for us with the AT&T Gnote. so nobody should go buy those apps just yet
see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23328290#post23328290
Jim, could you work on seeing if we can get something like your 3D UI for our AT&T version
I just downloaded both, kept the broweser, returned the video player --- my keyboard doesnt work when the video player is up

I didn't think it read like an ad. Then I saw both were paid apps and read it again.
That said, for $1.49, I figured, why not?
Both work great on my I717. Stock ROM, not rooted, running ADW Launcher EX, and using hacker's keyboard. I was able to run two 1080p videos at the same time with the video program, and was able to run 3 you tube videos on the browser. No problems with keyboard. The only problem with lag is it seems as I run more and more videos the sound and video gets a bit out of sync.
Thanks for the link. I like the browser because I am often copy/clipping stuff, or re-keying stuff from the browser window to somewhere else and that makes it much easier. I don't know that I'll use the video thing much, but its neat to show off, as others have said.
Wow, thanks for the information, especially about the 3D UI. It led me to discover many cool apps that I didn't know about before. I really like the Windows-like Contact app and Alternative App Drawer apps especially. Thanks again!

The video app will come in handy for my use case. I like to use the Google Navigation while driving but also want to hear my language training video at the same time. Before there was no way to run my video app while running the navi app at the same time. Now I do! Thanks.
That is a great app and it shows what the future will be for smart phones. Big screens that are used in a Landscape mode for most functions. The only need for portrait is to hold it up to your ear to make a call.
People are making a lot less calls.

This is true, you can expand your phone as far as you want. I mean if you used a bluetooth keyboard and hooked this up to a TV.. I might just try that

No worries, I guess I still have some 3D UI spreading to do on other forums, it seems as if people have the mindset that the manufacturer UI is what your stuck with. eg, Once touch wiz, always touch wiz
Quick and simple, I'm talking about this.

Is there an app/launcher/hack/tweak/whatever that can make this sort of thing happen on the Prime?
Search for MBFG on market/play. They make floating apps that are fully multitasking. Especially check out Stick It.

Those are really neat, however they only work for the specific apps. I'm talking about the entire UI changed to do this.

I have to say I wasn't familiar with Instagram directly, but it's difficult to read mobile news blogs without having ran across a lot of hype and fanfair about this apps impending arrival.
Is this what the iOS community is so endeared to? I can't really grasp the appeal of this rather pointless basic and silly app.
I honestly don't understand why Instagram is so damned popular.
Wasn't it the Apple AppStore App of the year?
I read an article somewhre that talked about how Iphone users were like, "ew, Instagram is on android, " and crap like that. i guess the hipsters can keep their crappy app. I like pixlr-o-matic and camera zoom better anyway!
is the camera settings button missing from the vibrant version of the app? i'm able to navigate to the settings section but there isn't anywhere to change the camera settings as i've seen mentioned in various places.
Does anyone use this instead of Multi Window Control? It looks interesting esp. since there is a payed version that allows multiple instances of the same app.
I use it on my gs3, works as it says, great app.
Give me some M.O.A.R. because its the ?!

I am running it on my Note 2 now and it seems to work very nicely, I have not found any apps that allow you to run two instances yet though
A question for you though... did this app add the multi-window functionality to the SGS3 or did you have to install a custom rom with it, then use this?
I'm running M.O.A.R., its a touch wiz base rom ported from sprint gs3 which is the only gs3 to officially have multi window.

What's your general idea? Is it gonna be based on a certain Android Platform? I'd like to see a Kit-Kat ROM since Kit-Kat is under development by Android.
Good idea actually im trying to make roms for avrage and below avrage android phones

What is really needed is better multitasking, especially as the number of tablets running Android grows. I mean have it so that apps can run on a portion of the screen at half third or quarter size, so they can be used simultaneously. Maybe it needs to be more like an extension of the widget functionality, where each widget is basically a full app running. So you could have a word processor, pdf reader, and browser window open at once. Or phone and sms, or youtube and file explorer, music and a simple game. I think Windows Mobile can do this in some limited way.
It feels like people obsess over minor changes to the appearance of the OS or arrangement of a particular app, and forget that you need to rethink some of the most basic aspects of the UI from time to time to stay competitive as an OS.
