Having a dedicated app switching button is nice. There are some other ways to switch apps on Note that are not bad. If you press the home button, then task manager you can find recently used apps both open and closed. Also, something I like more and more. If you are currently using an app and do a long press of the home button it will superimpose your recently used apps over your currently used app. You can then switch to another app from there and cycle over any set of apps that way. This did not close the apps I was using so I could go from reading an email to editing a file to doing something with a terminal. When I cycled through the applications it put me where I left off.

What I'd really like is some sort of gesture that would replicate alt+tab, but lacking that a dedicated button that would pull up all your active applications (and really, I want it to only pull up active applications, not recently used applications that might be closed) is close to a must in my book.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note

Thanks.

But WHY samsung WHY ??
Do you have to have a Home button like the iPhone?

Make it a full, flatscreen like the N9 or Gnex.
Perhaps give the screen a slight curve like the NexS/Gnex's.
Use the virtual on-screen buttons from ICS/JB.
Use that space with the Home button, implement the speaker there, so its louder and clearer towards the user. And bump up the speaker on the top, so they are Stereo Loud Speaker.
Don't forget a Notifications light, and a Kickstand.

It's patently obvious!

What on earth am I looking at there?

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note

You are looking at the future. It's a picture frame and the circle is just to pinpoint the new corners.

If this future become reality for us is to early to tell. The picture might come from a parallel universe and it not 100% that it applies here.
