It obscures stuff we want to see on the main screen. And it's really pointless and redundant anyway. Anything in there is already on one home screen or another.
HELP
Theres also a multi window toggle in the notification bar you can switch on and off. Well on the verizon one there is, not positive of the other variants.
Long press the back button for about two seconds and it will go away. Long press the back button and will return whenever you need it.
Its not annoying. It lets you run 2 apps at the same time side by side.
