WP8 SDK leaks: WP8 increases the amount of visible apps on multitasking view to 7

Posted by in WP on Aug 1, 2012 | 3 comments

 

WP8 will bring crucial improvements to Windows Phones multitasking adding background multitasking that will be opened to all devs.
With multitasking greatly improved on Windows Phone 8 and hardware that should be more than ready to handle background multitasking Microsoft is according to the leaked WP8 SDK going to increase visible apps on multitasking view from 5 to 7.

I wouldn’t mind the available apps to be even more, but that depends on what the multitasking truly ends up being when we get more information on WP8 rather than just these SDK leaks and Microsoft WP8 preview.

    The way you get to Mulitasking-View and its look is kinda annoying and not very user friendly. You have to push and hold the back button for a few seconds and than you get a lay-out displayed where you have to swipe left and right to find an app. Multitasking with the N9 and even with Galaxy Nexus is real joy!

      Not a big fan of the multitasking view either.
      I’ll see how it fares when the core multitasking itself is usable on WP8 and use it more.
