Android tablets gain next year a splitscreen mode. They are then like Windows tablets and iPads suited to compete for ‘multitasking’.
Google wants to make it possible to use two apps side by side on the screen Android tablets. Such a function should make interesting Android tablets to use for work purposes. This is evident from responses of two Google executives in a question and answer session on Reddit.
The splitscreen mode would be the next Android version 7.0 get stuck. “We recognize hard on improvements to Android for tablets,” said Glen Murphy, the head of the user interface for Android and Chrome. “Split is one of the things we’re working on,” adds his colleague Andrew Bowers, manager consumer hardware, to. Splitscreen mode was first in a test version of the current Android 6.0 ‘Marshmallow’, but was not the final version.
Tablets and laptops
The sale of tablets is already declining times. Google is trying, like other big tech parties making tablets again more interesting by having them work with clickable keypads. They therefore can be used as a kind of laptops. It is for instance possible with Google’s new high-end tablet Pixel C. Also, Apple recently released its iPad Pro in the market, which also special keypads are available. Microsoft Surface Pro tablets have this for several years.
Both Apple’s iOS and Microsoft’s Windows support already working with two apps side by side on tablets. Microsoft has been since 2012 available on tablets with Windows 8. Apple introduced the feature in iOS nine in September 2015. When the new Android N ‘appears, it is not yet known. Chances are that it is not until the autumn of 2016
