I was incorrect earlier regarding the 'live' thumbnails. I obviously wasn't looking closely enough. The minimised video plays smoothly.Too bad you can't do that with the stock video player. :/
Swipe UX is designed to simplify tasks you do many times a day. Everytime I want to check something on the web while I am watching something, I have to pause video, change window/workspace, and so on... The question is: why NOT to pause video automatically when I want to switch activity? It makes sense to me.
If your reason is only to show how awesome is real multitasking on N9, then try to think more pragmatically.

A pointless and unnecessary limitation, which is applied even in some applications which require text entry. Lame.

There is already a nice, shiny fruit phone for those that don't want/need choices.

Oh and this this is not really a thread but more like some chat room, and I'm mostly fine with that. I agree that true information can go in the other ones so we can keep the remarkable 99% OT grade of this one

All times are GMT. The time now is 17:50.
Asking questions there seems to be met with some form of discontent that I cannot support. If you have the answer, answer the question. If you find it inappropriate, ignore it. But to ignore each and every ****ing question asked and hide behind "this site is for developers mostly" type of mantra and you're unwilling to make the devices open to all developers, then you've created a situation where folks will ask and no answers will get found.
Not all devs there are like that, but in my experience, the people more than likely to answer first live by that aforesaid mantra of "This place is for devs" type of mentality...
Give me a device, I'd dev. Give me a forum, I'm asking questions. Give me a bad attitude, I can give one back and it's warranted from my perspective.
Oh well. Glad somebody try to explain Aegis. I still want an answer as to what it is truly protecting. Seems to be more inline with protecting the closed sourced apps from the UI to the other bits than honestly protecting media - perhaps it helps with user rights as well, but that's further down on its priorities.
It sounds rather Android or Apple-ish the more I think about it.
