The attempts to bring True Multi-Tasking to a Smartphone are getting pretty much popularity and after what Samsung brought in the Android market, users of iOS are demanding the same thing from Apple and thank GOD that Jailbreak developers are not giving everything in Apple’s hand, otherwise getting Multi-Window concept in iOS will be a dream as always. Thanks to Ryan Petrich for bringing the Multi-Window concept in iPhone/iPad. VideoPane is a Jailbreak Tweak that does the Job very beautifully and without any lag or force stop. It may not work on all the apps, but this single step will open doors to many other apps, who might bring full Multi-window concept or True Multi-Tasking.
For those who don’t know about VideoPan, it allows users to watch online videos without any restrain. It means that a user open a Video using Youtube App and then ‘Undocked’ allowing video to continue play even if the user go off or surfing the web within safari. The video continues to play on the top of whatever is going on beneath. This is first attempt to bring Multi-Window concept in iOS and by the looks of it has pretty much succeeded. Ryan Petrich promised to bring true Multi-Tasking in iOS 7 and we have already seen the video of its early stages. Follow our Article to learn more about this Picture-in-Picture Multitasking.
