Is multi-window coming to Android?


The multi-window feature available on the Samsung Galaxy Note phablets might soon be available to many more Android users.The detail of multi-window really doesn't give us a clue as to when such an app would be made available, or how it would work on a non-Galaxy Note Android phone. Back during the first month of 2014, a concept video showed how apps like WhatsApp, Snapchat, Twitter and YouTube could be used on Android within multi-window application.On smaller screens, multi-window support could quickly become a confusing mess, particularly when trying to drag and resize panels to get everything important in view. On the other hand, many of today's smartphones and tablets are easily big enough to support two apps on screen at the same time.

Google I/O 2015 will be held May 28th and May 29th.Where we could hear something more about this during the annual developer conference.
