What If I Had,,,"Cover Flow Multitasking?"

A recent video by Ocean Observations, shows a unique cover flow system which enables iphone users to open an app whilst other apps are still running in the background, a feature that so far, the iphone has been seriously lacking. Lets hope this app really does one day present itself as it looks great and would be a great feature.

The idea is that all the running apps will be shown with a miniature (full screen) representation together at the bottom of the home screen in a cover flow system, all other apps would remain on the home screen also, to make room for this the bottom row of icons would be removed and the dock would be removed completely.

Since the running apps will more than likely match your favourites, they will still be easily accessible. A running app will also be indicated by a backlighted app icon with blue text, you can still also bring a running app to full screen by pressing its icon.

You can tap or swipe any of the cover flow miniatures to move it into focus, tap again to bring it to full screen to use. Double tapping the home button now will bring up the cover flow letting you jump between running apps, tapping the home screen once will minimize the app into the cover flow. Apps are arranged in the order you started them, the most recent to the left.

To close a running app, simply drag the miniature out of the cover flow and it moves back to its original state as an app icon on the home screen. The number of running apps may depend on the performance of your device.

This is looking great so please rate, comment, and subscribe to this dev team to show some support.
