Using “Small apps”
There are a number of apps installed on the tablet 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). You can also save to the [Scrapbook] app data created with the [Memo] or [Clip].
