Side by Side (formerly 4 Desktops) 1.2.2


Category: Productivity
Price: $.99 -> Free, Version: 1.2.2 (iTunes)

Description:

Side by Side is a multiple-screen reader/browser with offline reading and note taking capabilities. It turns the iPad into multiple resizable reading devices working in parallel.

You can browse webpages, download files, read documents, or take notes on each split screen.

When reading something on the iPad, e.g. a webpage or a PDF document, you might often need some handy tools on the side, e.g. a dictionary, a notepad, your email inbox, your facebook updates, an IM tool to chat with your friends, or a youtube video with your favorite background music. This app provides you plenty of possible ways to organize your beautiful iPad screen.

There are a lot more you can do with Side by Side. You can open a web-based game side by side and play together with your friend. You can also open two similar documents side by side to read and compare.

The start page in the bookmark list provides links to lots of interesting websites (e.g. games, tools) that nicely fit the split touch screen. It is frequently updated.

When you want to focus on one side, you still can cover the full iPad screen with one of the panels.

What's New

★ Tremendously enhanced web browsing experience for many websites, including google reader, gmail, bing, youtube, dropbox, techcrunch, gtalk, linkedin, meebo, yahoo!, usatoday, etc.

Two critical updates:
1) Now mobile websites will be dressed in the cool iPhone style, whereas in the previous versions they are just showing the resized desktop version.
2) Webs that are previously annoyingly not resizable (e.g. Google Reader, Google Talk, Youtube) are resizable now, so that you don't need to scroll left and right.

★ Fixed a bug that occasionally causes PDF page locations not remembered when quitting the app.

★ Minor UI changes.
