Hey!
I thought of a concept that will be hard to achieve, but awesome if it works.
This is it: The OS acts as if there are two screens that you can control independently. This way you can do things like editing a file while looking thing up on the internet. I realize this probably would not work, and in terms of technology I'm kind of a noob, but this is just an idea that would be cool and not actually anything I am working on.

I know of the Sony Tablet P, but I meant that it would be something that any Android phone with enough power could use. But thanks anyway!
If you split the screen in two, don't you think the screens would be way too small anyway? I mean it is a good idea, but who really does anything majorly needing that on their phone?
Maybe if you got the Kyocera Echo's source you could trick the display into doing it
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/13/kyocera-echo-review/
But it wouldn't be practical on a phone, maybe on a tablet
OP, I think its a great idea!
You would have two 6.25 cm (2.5") 427x480 (or 480 minus a few pixel rows for the status bar) app windows.
It probably could be implemented, but I doubt it will

This is just for multitasking though. The DS was a good idea, but the real innovation was the touch screen - not the two screens.
This might or might not be useful. I thought of it because to me it seems useful when looking things up or something. And yes, the screens might be small. But I do not think they will be too small.
There's.a Nokia dual screen check it on youtube I def was not impressed
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
I would find this useful because you can have your music player on the left/bottom of the screen, and have any other app on the other half of the screen. That way you wont have to change constantly between apps so in other words it is great for multitasking.
Imigine that you can swipe the bar between the two apps to make one bigger or smaller... that would be nice...
EDIT: Heard about Cornerstone? It does something very similar:

Voice to text and in the UI in general i.e. the ability to add widgets and customize the launcher.

I said, "you know, that is a really good question." Priceless!

There's loads of things you can showcase.

Yes they could. It's always a grid from top left (except the dock), but you can rearrange them or move them to a different screen. It's been that way since iOS 1

Thanks to an XDA user named Lef.teris here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970643&page=1, the system dump for the Sony Xperia Arc has been posted. Another user named Paolo599 ripped the home launcher (called Sony Ericsson Home)... this can be found:
http://www.multiupload.com/2YETWLF218
I've been using it for the last 20 minutes with no force closes. Sony decoupled it's launcher with it's Time and Mediascape apps, so I'm guessing this is why it's relatively pain free to use.
Try it out, it's very cool. You can drag and drop apps into the dockbar and it has a folder management system FOR the dockbar. 5 screens. Very clean looking. It's app drawer also has "pages" as well. Only thing I see wrong is that it's made for slightly bigger phones because the dock text is cut off.
Lemme know how you like it. I don't know if the demand is there, but I'm sure if the home works this good- all we need to grab is the walls and the sounds and we can transform the look of our Vibrant's pretty fast.

Nice, got any screenshots?
Of it in action on my phone? No. But this is what it generally looks like minus the widgets and the dock text (it's made for higher res phones) http://topnews.net.nz/images/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-01.jpg
That's pretty clean.. I like the silver battery mod.
Pretty cool, always nice to have new options. It does look a little cut off at the bottom though.
Well, according to the Arc section- Sony has made everything in the launcher open source to distribute and mod so maybe someone can mess with the resolution?
Maybe a full on port?
In the short time you've been using it did you notice any selling points of the launcher beyond the look of it?

Folders, the app drawer looks nice, at least unique with custom ordering. Btw, its free, small, and you can switch off at any time, why do you need to be sold?
I dont need to be sold. Every launcher has its own set of features.. Was wondering what this launcher had.

The bottom doesn't line up because the Arc has a higher resolution than our phones. A dev is going to have to mess with it if they want it to be perfect.

I'm using ADW EX launcher, and the background is a live wallpaper called World View.
Enjoy!
here my homescreen
using folder organizer, switchPro Widget and minimalistic text...
feel simple and smooth with ONE homescreen
minimalist, maximal functionality
Amateurs! Here's how minimalism is done. If it were possible to swipe this tablet one-handed, then possibly there'd be an argument for more than one, but otherwise one home page goes without saying. Black background so that you can always see what you're doing, plus the sensuality of black's depth that makes black the new black.
I can't find a working app sorter to render the system apps tray usable, so Folder Organizer on the top two rows makes everything available--and I still have four slots open. The next two rows are my Dropbox shortcuts to immediately access frequently used file locations. I currently only need four of the sixteen slots, so that next row is devoted to two tider-overs: 1) a widget for enabling/disabling the lockscreen fills in for the Widgetsoid widget that doesn't work; and 2) on the left side is my biggest risk: a reboot button ergonomically placed so that it's never accidentally actuated, which I know will eventually happen at the worst possible moment.
Below that, it's all Widgetsoid with so much room remaining to expand for frequently used apps that I can sculpt my lower three rows into the Michaelangelo's David that you're presently beholding. Top Widgetsoid row devoted to settings, with state toggles separated so that their state is displayed, while the remainder are always highlighted. Finally, two rows of apps grouped in Widgetsoid widgets by the way I consider they function in my workflow. From left to right, then down, you've got system utilities, media, time, word processing, and internet. That bottom left Widgetsoid is getting crowded--I need three pdf readers because they all suck in some way--but the others still have slots open. A ting'o'beauty, no?

Affirmative, this stupid bug again. I thought it was fixed for good with Survival update but it's again present. Ah... Mojang, Mojang
Uses up battery like crazy
And picking up multiple numbers of the same item sometimes.goes in one slot
So instead of 10 mud blocks, you have 10 sets of 1 mud block
Quite annoying
YES! I have been waiting for crafting for a long time, and it's finally here... although not implemented like the PC version and way less blocks.
You know, there was this game called "Crafted" for iOS, a 2D minecraft rip-off complete with copied textures and sounds, it had been wandering around the App Store before the staff finally caught them and removed it. It was nice though, it resembled the PC version completely up to version Beta 1.7.3, just 2D in a Terraria-fashioned style. It even had a nice crafting system based on a one-item/stack toggling drag/drop system I'd really like to see implemented in Minecraft PE, but since it never caught Mojang's attention, only Apple's, I guess we'll have to wait for them to realize perhaps a better crafting system.
Android version alpha 0.3.1 (which is still called alpha 0.3.0 so you probably haven't noticed there's a new update) fixes the texture problems and other stuff.
Resource hunting is pretty difficult since there aren't cave formations yet, and we'll probably see them in an update next month or via modding, but hey, look what I've found :

it is a bit large but I think I like it better than the 2010 theme. I wish they had a floating bar a the top though, one that would stay while you scroll with the account options and maybe page selection.
I fixed my problem by going to control panel, edit options, and changing the skin to the last one on the list. Now I get the nice theme and I will not have to read XDA on my bigger monitor.

That is your choice. As is me blocking adverts on my machine.
If they truly wanted to, they could prevent users from reaching the forums that have ad blocking apps, extensions and host files preventing their revenue sources.
