sorry for being dumb but what does it do that the phone doesn't already?

jkoppee · #12 01-09-2008, 08:35 PM

it gives a quick look at the open apps and allows quick switching between them. emphasis on quick. Hit alt + tab on your computer for the best example

but the phone already does that? and its pretty quick anyway?
lol

i can't see how itd be worth getting another app just to make it a bit quicker.

well it's a little different than the way the phone does it. IMO it's easier and quicker especially if you have Handy Taskman installed.

Me and Jkop can't be the only ones that see sense in this, can we? :P

The speed alone in switching from utility to utility is absolutely great when multi tasking!

I use it very regularly for when I'm browsing the net (Waiting for a page to load maybe) and checking back to something else I was doing, like writing a text. The interface is very neat and tidy, and makes such little work of it

It's not a revolutionary idea, but it just adds to the magnificence that is, the N95 :P

Giz I don't know what it is. We may be the only ones that are normal... (yeah like that's true). I love how simple and small it is. I don't need bells and whistles considering how easily amused I can be

Does it show RAM usage and allow you to create shortcuts to the most used apps? This is the main reason I use Handy Taskman.

its just.. horizontal? I mean, I can't really see how I'd improve on what the phone does which is just list the applications and allows you to switch between them. I'm a constant texter so if i'm on the web or whatevr I just press, switch, and go back again.

gah you men can't multitask anyway! ;)

No I still use handy taskman for that, this just switches between open apps. Thats it nothing else, just quickly switch between apps. Small, easy and uses almost no Ram at all from what I see.

That's partially true about men but I'm ok with that. Rather do one thing at a time well then several things at a time badly...

I like this better because 1 I have handy task running and 2 if you have several things open this makes it easier to see them all at once instead of haing to scroll through a list.
