Samsung Amps Up Its Multi-Window Android Upgrade

Posted by timothy on Thursday January 24, 2013 @07:56AM from the like-ms-windows-eh? dept.

DeviceGuru writes "New multiwindow, multitasking features in Samsung's recent Jellybean update to the Galaxy Note 10.1 have pushed the user interface of Android tablets into new territory, adding MS Windows-like capabilities that are sure to delight many users — and aggravate others. Although some observers have warned of the dangers of forking Android, Samsung's efforts to extend Android and its ecosystem can be defended as being consistent with Google's master plan for the Android system, most of which is released under ASLv2. And remember: unlike Apple, Android device makers, and the wireless carriers who offer Android smartphones to their customers, need ways to differentiate their products."

Hasn't Samsung learned its lesson when it copied Apple and got fined a billion dollars for doing so?
Apple Stock Crash Coming in 3... 2... 1... BOOM There, 50% of APPL valuation gone.
You really think MS wants to drag their fucking name through the mud too? "Mess with the Best, Die like the Rest", Hehe, yeah, no.
