As a tablet backer yesterday I received a 'Jolla Tablet User Experience Questionnaire': a few questions Jolla asks about what how you use a tablet and what you would like to see in Jolla Tablet.
Not sure if they spammed^Wmailed everybody at once, but if you are backer and you don't find it, check also your spam folder.

Drag and dropping something (usually an icon representing a file) from one screen (say an open email message) to another screen.
That's how desktop Mac OSX handles drag and drop today onto multiple virtual desktops, screens and minimised apps.
I'm not saying Jolla should do that; just saying a windowed environment isn't a prerequisite.

The multitasking view is just the equivalent of the task switcher on a desktop, with the additional ability to use a couple of shortcuts.

Unless I really need to show two things side by side, I always maximise everything, and this on a laptop with twice the screen size of the tablet.
In fact, I have just tried maximising the browser displaying this very TMO page. Bleeeeaargh!
Anyway, resizable windows give you the option. You can use it if you wish or not if you are so masochistic and want to limit yourself to full-screen only. But not even having the option is like going back 30 years.

Good points and discussion, thanks.
I personally do not think that freely resizeable and even overlapping "windows" would be needed or that they would be the most effecient way to use screen space on tablet.
However, I would like to see a bit more freedom in the way how the app covers are handled today at Jolla. Like giving app developers possibility to create different size app covers (for example three different sizes available 1*1, 2*1, 2*2) so that the user could for example for a moment make the video window larger or expand the weather app to show weather forecast for a couple more days without the need to go to fullscreen.
And if there would be a possibility to fix certain app covers to a certain place in the multitasking "table" it would be easy to create app covers that could act as widgets.

What's a task switcher on a desktop?
I am in the maximize everything camp myself, by the way. There may be applications for which full screen is not needed, but I am not using many of them. A chat window is all I can think of at the moment. Otherwise, my desktop tends to have a console window, with a few tabs open, a browser with a few tabs, and any application I am using, maximized. But applications I may be using are typically Qt creator, Inkscape or Krita.

The IndieGoGo campaign just restarted:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/j...blet/x/4049054
Nothing about 3G support, but an option for a larger internal flash drive. I am quite tempted...
