- I am sure somewhere in these forums this has been discussed to death. But i did a quick search and didn't see it so I'm asking. Will BB10 let us swipe between open apps like we do on the playbook? I find this to be a huge feature as i am constantly flipping back and forth between apps .. online banking and budget app or email and a webpage, etc. I know in BB10 you can swipe up and quickly go to another "open" app. but I haven't seen any videos with someone actually swiping left or right to flick to the next open app.01-18-13 02:58 PMLike 0
- Well I have to be honest and say if I can't swipe left or right to flick between apps... Then that just sucks.
Swipe up and tap another icon.. That really isn't much better than tapping the home button and tapping another app on those other phones....01-18-13 03:19 PMLike 0 - The swipe left is used for flow gesture and to see the HUB.
RIM wants to remove the idea about one Window per application, so you don't need to switch all the time between the application.
Here sample :

I'm curious what RIM will do BB10 it on the PlayBook version. As another poster pointed out, I love the swipe left/right to switch between apps... maybe RIM will keep that on the PlayBook or invent something even better.. *fingers crossed*01-18-13 03:28 PMLike 0
- But it is one window per app....
If I have the browser open and want to get over to another open app the side swipe is faster than the swipe up and tap.
I like the hub being available with a swipe. But they sacrificed ease of accessing all open apps for the sake of easily accessing the hub...
I will of course keep an open mind.. But I'm disappointed with the lake of swipe for app navigation01-18-13 03:36 PMLike 0 - No, in one Window you can invoke several applications
Sample: From file manager, you open a photo (you stay in the file manager window) but you are in the image viewer application.
Then you invoke Dropbox to save on your cloud. Dropbox is still in the same window. At last you invoke BBM. And always in the same window.
To come back to application caller, just do a swipe left.
So the swipe right is available...

I imagine it's because side bezels on a phone in portrait are pretty skinny and a case will be covering part of the bezel too. Also, your thumb/finger to screen ratio is way different so I would think it would be a lot easier to get false positives.
I could be remembering this completely wrong though.
I got hooked on RIM because of the Playbook. So it's kind of sad, but I think RIM made the right choice not trying to make a tiny Playbook. I like what I'm seeing with the Hub getting gesture priority. The number one thing I do with my phone is communicate and manage my agenda.Last edited by Stocklone; 01-18-13 at 05:00 PM.

Swipe, peak, enter, respond and flow back to what you were doing.. can't get better then that.. I hear what your saying about the playbook but I think this is going to be way better in the long run.. And who know we may be surprised with more goodies on Jan 30...01-18-13 04:01 PMLike 0

I am also super excited about BB10. As an enterprise customer I am on a list to receive a free phone once they are available from my carrier. Can't wait for that!01-18-13 04:08 PMLike 3 - No, in one Window you can invoke several applications

Also the top down swipe is pretty much useless because of the bottom navigation bar in which you can pretty much cram any settings in the contextual menu (the 3 dots opposite the back button) or directly on the bar itself. For a gesture centric OS I think the gestures are very much underutilised.

- This is a good thread, I too want to know how I will because say for example,I was checking my bank online with the Chase App, and I get the verification code. Well, with OS7, I have to hit menu switch application and go to my messages to pull up the verification code. Then I have to Log Back In to my bank online for security reasons. Will BlackBerry 10 be able to keep the Chase app running in the active frame while I peek and move into the Hub to copy and paste the code without having to re log in to Chase?01-19-13 12:17 AMLike 0
