Ideas for PlayBook Multitaski​ng for RIM

I was thinking about some of the comments that people have made here and elsewhere about wanting to truly multitask with the PlayBook. That is in how we work, nit just the hardware.
Maybe we can throw some ideas in here and hope that RIM take some of it on board.
- Allow an app to overlay another, á la picture-in-picture. Great for copying stuff.
- Portrait mode could split screen two apps. One on top and one below.
- Web browser could (and should) appear as separate tasks rather than just a single app. Cool if this could be turned on and off.
- Reorder the running apps in the minimized view to that we can clump them together. Oh, better yet, we could lasso them together so that we are working on task-focused programs together, and a swipe up would show is a screen full of those running programs so we could easily jump between them. I believe that the bottom right corner isn't being used at the moment.
Does anybody have other ideas about how we can really multitask with the PlayBook?

funny how they copy stuff all the time, I though they might have taken a few ideas.
weird how another company copied BlackBerry Protect and maybe BBM too.

  • How do you contact the people at App World (for PlayBook)...

    Does anybody know who I need to talk to regarding App World (for the playbook). It really gripes me when you write a constructive review for an app, but the vender then removes it - surely, this should not be allowed (as it can lead to customers being mislead). I wrote the following review for the UK on-device GPS Map app, and guess what, it was removed!
    Not as impressed as i thought it would be for the following reasons:1. Incomplete maps - I've lived in my house for over ten years, yet my housing estate doesn't show up on the map (I wonder if this is the case elsewhere???)!
    2. Map scale - When I'm out and about, and zoom into the map, it doesn't always rescale itself; rendering the map useless.
    3. GPS Location - Once the App finds your location, and you then move, it doesn't then replot your movement on the map; to re-establish your position, you have keep repressing the button - very poor!
    4. Finally, the App just keeps crashing! Your using it, then it just switches off.
    Considering all the above, and the price of this App (£9.99!), I am really disapointed. Please fix the issues identified or refund asap.
    Cheers...

    Possibly the best bet is simply discussing it here.  RIM tends to like such feedback to be filtered through the forum, I presume because allowing much direct contact would overwhelm them (these days, with negative feedback!).  It's also reasonable in that it gives other people here (users like you, and developers) a chance to comment, expand the discussion, correct misconceptions, and so on.  As I understand it, RIM tries to monitor these forums, and in the cases where they may not notice a particular concern, some of the long-time participants have back-channels to escalate serious concerns to their attention.  I'm pretty sure they watch the "big picture", and if enough people complain about something, I'm pretty sure they take notice and engage in internal discussions to decide what to do about it.  (My main problem with this whole process is that they almost never provide any external feedback to us, even to let us know they recognize certain problems.  For example, the PlayBook rapid charger quality problems... it's incontrovertibly a defect, but there's been no sign of any recognition of that on their part.)
    That said, I sympathize with you.  I'm disgusted by that map vendor's products and behaviour, as I think they give the rest of us devs a bad name, not to mention "hogging" too much of the space in the Newest and Recently Updated lists, among other things.
    I'll note one thing, however, though I don't like the idea I might actually be seen as defending them.  On the map quality topic, those maps are actually using the OpenStreetMap data, aren't they?  (Visit http://openstreetmap.org)  If so, the quality of the data isn't something that vendor has control over... OSM is basically just like Wikipedia, in that the content is almost entirely generated by volunteers, people like you and I, who have chosen to contribute.  (I've edited OSM for my own town, adding many missing roads, fixing spelling errors, etc.) 
    If that's true, then I think the vendor ought to have made that very clear to their customers.  I'm not too surprised they did not, however, since I believe they knew they couldn't charge people $10 for a poor quality app that was merely giving you access to map data that cost the vendor nothing to provide.
    Have you tried contacting the vendor and demanding a refund?  It is possible for developers to request that RIM arrange a refund, as I understand it.

    Hi SR,
    I wanted to let you know that while we typically don't handle Playbook issues on this forum (the RIM forum you linked to is the correct place for these discussions) I have forwarded this question along to the team to see if anyone has encountered this.  I'll post more info when I hear back.
    Thanks,

  • Cannot build for PlayBook

    I'm trying to install an AIR mobile (flex) application on BlackBerry Playbook.
    I managed to publish many successful builds of my app for all Blackberry devices EXCEPT Playbook.
    The application failed to installed with this following error message "failure 821 Application-requires-system :unrecognized system name "BlackBerry10".
    I am using FlashBuilder 4.7 with AIR 3.1 SDK and I am using Adobe and Blackberry ANEs to build the app.
    Is the AIR SDK I am using (3.1) is correct for Playbook ? It DOES work for all other BlackBerry device.. ? Any ideas what might cause this ?
    Thanks !

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding, the Win2012R2 Debug and Win2012R2 Release options are developed yourself but they did not display. If yes, please consult on
    Windows Hardware WDK and Driver Development  forum to know how to display custom driver in VS. VS General Question forum mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.

  • VCMS App for PlayBook - No Install Icon

    I'm having a really strange problem with one app that I bought several months ago.  VCMS is installed and working on my 9850 phone.  At one time it was also installed and working on my PlayBook.  However, I wiped the PlayBook to start fresh after some other problems started arising, and now I can't reinstall it anymore.  The strange thing about it, is that it shows up in App World on the PlayBook, but there are no buttons for install/purchase/uninstall.  I have emailed i-Mentalist support and they tell me that it is not a problem with the app itself, but a problem with App World.  As of the latest OS update pushed out today, it still has not corrected the problem.
    Before I installed the latest OS update, I have wiped the PB twice with no luck.  The PB has been rebooted several times.  I'm puzzled and quite annoyed.
    Anyone have any ideas?  

    I think you'll find that's the source of the issue.
    There are limitations to the number of PIN changes for applications. You might have hit the ceiling.
    Go back to i-mentalist and ask them to make sure the license for your copy is for your PlayBook PIN.
    I know the guys there, they will do the right thing for you if it is indeed something they can control from their end.

    No one knows when, RIM has not announced anything certain.
    IF all goes well with BB10, and handset devices are released late summer, fall 2012, I'd expect we might see it around then, or afterwards.
    But, that's all just pure speculation.

  • Re: Language Pack for Playbook.

    Hello, 
    I like to know if Rim is working on new language pack, I 've been waiting for Korean ime since the date it came out to market in 2011. 
    Are they really working on getting more languages for playbook? 
    Or, is there any other way to install Korean on playbook ?

    Hey jkyoung53,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    I would suggest keeping an eye on this KB article for more languages to be supported: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB29590
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Citrix goto webinar and cisco webex no support for playbook

    http://support.citrixonline.com/en_US/gotowebinar/all_files/GTW010004
    As business tablet rim should get support for these 2 important business application

    ofcourse it should come from product vendor, either citrix or cisco, but RIM has to put some effort to bring these apps to their platform. People have been crying for webex and skype for past one year but no luck yet. Webex is a widely used apps for meeting and remote support and its pathetic that RIM is waiting for someone to develop an app someday. That strategy is idiotic and so playbook is a great failure.

  • Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative cloud not the same? idea-  one place(stored date) for all application ??????

    Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative cloud not the same? idea- one place(stored date) for all application ??????

    Lightroom Mobile is not a cloud storage service. You shouldn't treat it as a way of backing up your files. You are merely storing Smart Previews of your files in the cloud space, high-quality JPEGs of your files regardless of their original format on your desktop. The point is that they are there so you can continue editing them in a Lightroom-like environment even while away from your desktop/laptop computer. The files in Lightroom Mobile can only be used in Lightroom Mobile.
    This is very different from what is offered by the Creative Cloud storage, which can be used to synchronize your files between any device (that can support the individual files).
    The vast difference in how each service works and its intended use is why they are separate.

    I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.
    1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
    2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
    3. Can I create a network and how?
    4.  What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
    I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical.  Any help / advice will be much appreciated.

    The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router.  I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
    You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.
