Verge's Galaxy Note 10.1 Review

Nilay Patel on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1:

You can also open a few special apps side-by-side in "multiscreen" mode — the built-in browser, Samsung’s mail client, the S Note notes app, the video player, the gallery, and the bundled Polaris Office document editor. Unfortunately, you can’t run just any app in multiscreen mode, which greatly lowers the utility of this feature. I was hoping multiscreen would effectively create a pair of seven-inch displays and turn Android’s lack of proper tablet apps into a strength; phone apps look fine on the Nexus 7’s similarly-sized screen, after all. Sadly that’s just not the case, and multiscreen will remain largely unused if you are a rational person who wants to use Chrome and Gmail instead of Samsung’s less-powerful alternatives.

Lipstick on a pig. Samsung can pseudo-add as many new features as they want, but if they don't work like customers expect it will just lead to disappointment and disillusionment. If Apple implemented a feature in this manner the tech punditry would have a heyday. I guess the Android bar is just lower.
