I was searching for an app that would allow you to have multiple apps open on the same screen (multi windows support). I stumbled upon a proposed app from a company called Thundersoft. Looks like they were/are developing software to allow Android to operate more completely on different platforms, most notably for notebooks.
This type of thing would be excellent for tablets, but looks like they have never released an app of this nature. There are demos on their website, and articles describing the software, but they are mostly from 2009.

Anyone know if there is anything out there that is similar to this? I'd love to be able to truly multi-task. I know this wouldn't work on a phone, but it just seems like this would be a great way to get more out of our tablets.
Here's a link to another write-up about the prospect of this app.

Have you tried powerstrip

Haven't heard of it, checking it out now.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll reply in a bit after I take it for a spin.
Thanks for the recommendation! Not exactly what I was looking for, but I love it! Was a little pesky to get it working, but now that I have it set up I am in love!
Your welcome I use it on both the gtab and the evo it allows me to switch between apps

Thundersoft is who actually develops the zpad ROM for Malata. If anyone has used the stock zpad build, you will see a lot of similarities in: http://www.thunderst.com/bigdroid.html
Interesting, I'll have to check into that.
Just seemed like the project as described in the demo videos for net books would be perfect for tablets. guess they are just developing for custom UIs and not developing an app to offer those features.
I was wondering if anybody has any suggestion for Bible app that can have the content stored locally? (not dependent on wifi)
Thanks in advance.
Ebook
Get it in ebook form and install a reader (FBreader etc...).
Simple enough, just takes a little critical thinking.
Get the youversion bible from the market. They allow you to download certain bibles. It'll be by LifeChurch.tv

I use OliveTree. Very good app. olivetree . com
I use youversion as well. Haven't tried others, but YV is pretty good.
Youversion works well.
You might also want to look at MySword at mysword.info a free bible reader program.
I use youversion as well. You can download different versions locally.

and-bible
I looked at the features of some of them, tried a few of them, and kept "and-bible". It is free in the market and from the developers website (google for and-bible). Lots of "modules" like bible translations, commentaries, lexicons, etc are available from crosswire dot org under The Sword Project > Module Add Ins. The same modules can be used in readers for Android, Windows, Mac, etc.

The resources available on OT are absolutely unmatched, but they do get expensive. I dropped over $100 a couple of weeks ago (and that was with 50% off with promo codes) on a few study tools. They are supposed to be updating the app soon, so it will more closely resemble the UI of the iOS app.
If all you need is a Bible, Youversion is pretty good. The official ESV app is pretty good as well (I am partial to the ESV myself). For free, And Bible is the best app I have found. It includes a few old commentaries (Matthew Henry, Luther, etc) and Strong's numbers on the KJV, which are really handy.
I also use YouVersion. There are a huge number of different translations/paraphrases, and lots of them can be downloaded to your device for free (I have 5 or 6 resident on my phone and tablet). The "pay-for" version are not that expensive, and every once in a while they'll *give* registered (free membership with no catches) users a paid bible for free. A few months back they gave away the New Living Translation.

New realtime web tracking system, runs on any phone 2.1+
You can send links to people you want to share your position with. Has configurable "update" times and shows last update/update interval/battery status on the web tracking page (useful for example when you are outside, roaming wilderness for many hours and need to save those last 10% of battery by turn long update interval - people watching you do not freak out, why didn't you move for a long time).
Current status: works, I am optimizing the GPS usage for battery savings.

It does, over Wifi.
I am the author of this app and have one question - did you ever clicked on ads in this app? I am just trying to make a kind of "Survey" between users to know, which way to go. I have the paid version, but it doesn't sell well, so I made the Ad-supported version, listed in Google Play for free, but not many people click the ads.
What do you think? Do you think, that having the app free, supported with ads is viable option for me?
Does this application allows recording and upload tracks?
I`m looking for app like old GPSed for iOS and Blackberry.

For the most part if I use and like an app, I will get the paid version. Outside of that, I don't see the ads, and I would not click on them if I did.

It is strange. They have stopped showing for some reason, I have experienced it on my devices several times. I'll look into that
hmmm. great app, starting to download now. thanks
Not sure about this time tracking application. We had been using Replicon's time tracking product suite which is an easy to use cloud based solution. It has a simple to use calendar view interface, great features for usability and unparalleled back up support too. NO issues till date, had been quite efficient and productive tool.

nice application, ang i want to tray this. thanks
Nice app... but
I just downloaded your free version to see how it worked before purchasing and have a question.
In your description it says you can send links by email but there is no option through the phone app to send links at all. The only place I seen that offers any type of links to send is on the website. I think this option should be offered through the phone app.
Is this something you plan on adding?
On the Indiegogo page for the Ubuntu Edge, you can see a video of a proof of concept for the Ubuntu Desktop.
She used an app on a stock Nexus 4 (if I remember correctly, she says AOSP) and just launch it like that on Android and sent it to the screen.
Am I the only one who find this more amazing than running Ubuntu Touch on a Android phone ?
If you take a look at the size of the ARM Ubuntu version, you have a 500 MB file and I was wondering how Android can just load like that Ubuntu and run it along Android ?
Cheers.

As you point out, the video demonstrates a fully functional version of Ubuntu for Android. In the IRC channel, Ubuntu VP of engineering stated that U4A requires the Android OS to be modified slightly. I'm hopeful this process is unveiled soon and U4A becomes publicly available. It likely won't be very smooth on current commercially available hardware, and there's not really enough storage on an N4 to make it very practical, but it would still be nice to get a glimpse of computing convergence.
Thank you for your answer, is there any way to have access to this discussion ?
It seems pretty smooth on the video, which is surprising when you know the current hardware limitation on Android ...
For the storage, the cloud allows you to only download the file you need so it might not really be a problem.
I'm currently thinking about building a NAS to use it as a storage and download platform, it might be a custom solution for this problem.
Another option is my linuxonandroid project, see it as ubuntu for android but with just a one man team doing it in the spare time
Big plus side is we support a range of distros and are not limiting to Ubuntu
EDIT
Also note that the nexus 4 is a device I use and our up and coming LoA ROM will be on the Nexus 4 before you know it
The ROMs aim is to basicly do everything Ubuntu for Android can do and more!
Is this the app your talking about? I wanna try it but dont wanna install some bogus app lol

Do you think they are using VM to run their Ubuntu ?
It must require a lot of RAM no ?
Something nice in their video is the share of data between the two OS (mail, contact, music, etc). Is it possible to do that when you do a VM ?

Just like my project they do not use a VM, they use native Chroot, which allows Linux to run on the Android kernel from within Android.
SO you get normal access to hardware and kernel features and no performance hit.
Then for the sharing its a mixture of both OS's having access to the same storage so music and files are viewable from both.
For app data shared acrossed it simply requires so work to pass this across from one side to another, something that could be done pretty easy and I have started working on myself
Nice thank you gonna give it a try tonight.

Currently its just 12.04 on Ubuntus side as we aimed to make alot of changes for our 13 release, but its coming
So the app gives directions on how to VNC into the linux system, but I want to connect my nexus 4 to a bluetooth mouse and keyboard and a monitor using the SlimPort adapter as seen in the Ubuntu Edge U4A video. Do you have or know of any directions on how this can be accomplished with Complete Linux Installer?
Thanks,
Blake

Okay, cool. I am extremely interested in this and I am a developer as well, so if there is anything you need tested or anything I can help you work on, please let me know.
I have a rooted Nexus 4 with sock jelly bean on it. I have played with installing Ubuntu Phone on it a few months back, but went back to android as I felt extremely limited in Ubuntu Phone.
I have the SlimPort® SP1002 from Amazon coming today. As I said before I would love to run it without the lag of VNC. Convergence is my main goal and I am so excited about Edge, but I want the Ubuntu for Android app for my Nexus 4 that I saw Leann talk about being already ready toady. Any idea of where/when we can get it?

Will you implement native chroot at some point too?
So now that the Ubuntu Edge campaign has failed, if/when do you think they will release Ubuntu for Android? I am going to get the new Nexus (Nexus 5?) and hopefully they will have it released for that phone.
So I know as long as I use trusted sources and don't really side load any apps I should be pretty safe. I am also aware that many people don't believe that Antivirus does anything other than use resources. With that said I do wish to be secure and with my classes I am taking in college (cyber security) have become a bit paranoid. So I would like people's opinion on four available products
Lookout
Already pre-installed with T-Mobile
Seems to do an ok job
Bitdefender
AV-TESTS ranked #1
Works with my Moto360 watch
Kaspersky
I use this on my personal PC and has updates frequently
Has a ton of features
ESET (Nod32)
Most Android features
Supposedly very light on system resources
Given this list has anyone had experience with any on the list and would recommend one over the other?
I've used Bitdefender.
I liked it.
I have a good friend who works as a programmer for lookout it's a good program. But in reality if you are flashing ROMS regularly you wipe out most viruses and Spyware on your own.

Problem is I just have finally gotten my ROM the perfect way I like it. Until Lollipop comes out I don't think I will be flashing anymore.

I use Kaspersky on all of my PCs, laptop, two tablets, and two phones. It does have great features and I don't notice a performance hit. You should look for the "Kaspersky Internet Security - Multi-Device" version. The five license pack allows you to install it on any mix of five computers and/or mobile devices and gives you a year of updates. Also, something unique about Kaspersky, as long as you have a valid license, product updates are free (including major updates like v2014 to v2015).
If you keep an eye on the technology deal sites, you'll often see the five license pack on sale for free after rebate. I can tell you from my experience, the rebates take forever but they do come. I've redeemed several.

Marty, Thanks. I currently use Kaspersky, and it will be expiring soon. However I do find that on my Galaxy Note 10.1 it slows down the system to a crawl. I am currently going to wipe the table to Hyperdrive, but still, the app seems to be a bit "bloated" for me compared to the Lookout that I am using. I was looking for something that is a bit lightweight but yet effective.
Still thank you for everything.
Update
For anyone curious or doing a search on what the results are. I was able to find this on the XDA forums today.
Thanks go to @Utini for making this http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-little-guide-to-security-privacy-t3042460
