Re: How do you use multitasking in N900?
 

I often use it by having programs and/or web sites running or waiting for my next input. When I surf the web, I will have multiple sites open, and also use the gps, music, and multiple txt conversations going on at the same time.

That's sounds like me. I keep my desktop clean when I'm done but keep a certain set of apps open when I need them: email, 2 times browser, 2 times conversations.

I will generally have xchat and pidgin both up, along with conky, some web browser windows and either mediabox or pyradio up for music. If I'm driving, I'll keep all that up (just in the background, of course) and use Mappero as gps/traffic.

I often have multiple browser windows open, reading the gen on one page while waiting for t'others to load. Also, poping back and forth between web-pages and emails or notes I'm composing is fairly common. If I open the calendar, I'll tend to leave it open in month view forspeed of reference, only shutting it if I have so many windows open it becomes a drag to navigate between them; ditto Notes, Messaging and Email.

Interesting to see that you have so many community apps running in parallel not only the pre-installed apps. Interesting, indeed.

Re: How do you use multitasking in N900?
 

I have been wondering something for a time now.

How do you define app? I mean most of us got cron, scripts, several IM accounts and is terminal an app? Is it just a part of the system? I mean how do you define "app" on N900?

Edit: I usually have around 1-3 windows opened most of the time, but as i said i got alot of running in the background.

I always keep my e-mail and twitter open. If I am actively browsing the web or using other programs, then I will close them when I'm done. I love multitasking in Maemo and hope it continues to be great with Meego.

Re: How do you use multitasking in N900?
 

My average is 6-9 but there are times when i need to scroll to reach some windows, and times when there is only one window open and the dashboard is mostly useless

Re: How do you use multitasking in N900?
 

Okay, frankly speaking, you know too much. ;-)

Joke aside, I'm referring to apps that you open from application menu or several instances of the same app (browser, conversations), but not scripts you fire up with xterm that run in the background and you can't affect from the multitasking view. Xterm is an app by my definition.
