Would be nice to see these updates come to the original note. Although the split screen would probably work better on the note 2 due to the difference in screen ratios between the phones.

Would like to see this ported to the galaxy s3. This is real multitasking and tbh looks very impressive to me and I can imagine using it a fair bit.

Whilst personally I would not carry this as a phone, I can see how the extra screen estate and having multiple applications at the same time are going to have compelling productivity benefits in a form factor that is more portable than a tablet. Like having a dual screen desktop setup. Of course this is all dependant on having the user interaction process refined to no-brainer usage.

Need to schedule a suitable film at the cinema later after the meeting, but before dinner at 9?
Or the client wants you to cross reference some data whilst you're on the train somewhere?
No need to abuse that Home/Back button!

I would like this on my Galaxy Note. Though just having the Jelly Bean upgrade would be a start!
