Android doesn't "truly" multi-task?

Taking things yet one step further, with the seven optimized apps, you can have two apps open at the same time; one on one screen and one on the other. That's downright ground-breaking. Talk about multi-tasking! Unfortunately, it's limited to just the seven optimized apps. Kyocera insists there are major technical reasons this is the case; standard apps aren't designed to work next to another app, and there are potential performance issues, too, since this is a step beyond multi-tasking (which can already tax the processor with certain apps.)



Wait, I thought one of the advantages of having an Android device was being able to use "true multi-tasking"!!!

Now they are calling is "simo-tasking," what is that ...

Until it can do that, this phone sucks.

It might be able to do that until we can confirm it thats still a possibility. One of the reason I still love webos is its true multitasking ability not this android shell approach.

If Android could "truly" multi-task than Kyocera would have no problem at all displaying running apps on both screens. Just saying."---

All this coming from someone that didn't care at what expense, he was going to purchase a product that ironically enough at one point, couldn't multi-task.

Umm, I'm confused. I can pause Angry Birds and send a text. What's the problem? 🤨

Can u see and read text msg while playing angrybirds? & doing both at the same time would be a huge plus for a dual screen device to take advantage of both screens at once

I still don't see the point. If I want to respond, Id still have to pause the game. Are we really getting that lazy?
