Using “Small Apps”
There are a number of apps installed on the tablet device called Small Apps. Small Apps give you the flexibility to open certain apps without closing other apps. For example, you may have an app such as the Email app open and want to open another app such as the Browser app. Instead of closing the Email app and opening the Browser app, you can keep the Email app open and start the Browser Small App. The Small App (Browser) is then displayed over the existing app (Email).
