Now that I am into a full week with the Kyocera Echo I am finally spending time with the features that make the phone so unique. I am a notorious multitasker and the ability to run two apps simultaneously was something I have been anxious to try.
The Echo comes preloaded with just a few apps that can be used at the same time. These are:
• E-mail
• Messaging
• Browsing
• Youtube via a custom app called Vueque
• Contacts
• Gallery
• Phone
You will notice this list is rather small with only seven apps at this time. I am sure that as the device is out longer there will be more options although I do not anticipate a lot of these since this is such a niche device and since Kyocera is such a small player in the marketplace.
Kyocera calls this feature “simul-task” and so far I have my favorite simul-task uses have been e-mail, youtube and browsing. Imagine watching a video on one screen while using the second screen for surfing the net. Sound cool? Well it is!
Here is a little demo using the browser and VueQue at the same time.
What do you think? Is this a feature that you think will appeal to customers? Is it unique enough to choose the Echo over the EVO, Epic or Shift?
