webOS is dead: Bring "Cards" to Android!

[crump84]

Picked up a Touchpad during the fire sale and i will say, the cards are pretty nice. It does offer true multi tasking... As much as I'm looking forward to the CM team porting Android, I'm glad they are working on a dual boot system.

I would totally be down for that. I just had to drop my Pre- yesterday and really miss webOS. I tried perfect task switcher; doesn't cut it.

I don't know what the heck these "cards" are, but if they mean true multi-tasking then deal me in!

Android already has true multitasking.. The cards is mostly eye candy... The only real feature it adds is the ability to truly close an app when you are done with it. Tho you could use ATK to do it too... but again.. isn't as fun as the cards

Color me a newb to the androis OS, but I thought task killers did more harm than good? I have wanted to manually shut down programs that are "running" but am unsure whether or not that is good for the phone.

We have cards! We have a dozen different ways to do cards. See the Palm User's Guide to Android.

Cards
If you miss cards, try Perfect Task Switcher, Visual Task Switcher, Wave Launcher, Itching Thumb or launchers like LauncherPro.

Cards are great for people how have ADD, or think they might. I never forgot what I was doing before I got that phone call, or email or whatever. There it was still open on my desktop. That was/is the beauty of the webOs cards.

I never forgot what I was doing...

Have you ever fired up your web browser with a specific reason and place to go, only to get sidetracked by something on your home page? Then like 5 minutes later you think "damn-it! I forgot what I was going to look for!" Heh

Yes for cards on Android. Way cool and very useful.

Supposedly the "killer" features that were slated for ICS are now being pushed forward. Was hoping for an announcement and some nice new features before Apple steals the stage. Android could lose a lot of it's base to iOS when the iPhone 5 hits Sprint.

You already have this. Long press on links to open them in new cards. Tap Menu > Windows to swipe though the cards. Press the Back button to close the new card.
