While multi-tasking can be seen in most modern computer running windows, linux, etc. it is rather quite rare that a mobile device seems to care about this feature.

Other than that, the new patent also allows the device to generate 3D image using coordinated views on multiple displays. It also promises a multi-tasking system, in which user can free use one display for video conference interface while other displays’ contents are kept secret.
