Pixel C team promises multitasking and optimized tablet apps are coming

When the Pixel C reviews came in earlier this week there was an almost unanimous reaction that the tablet's hardware was great but the lack of multitasking or tablet-speciifc apps dampened reviewer's excitement for the device's future.

The Pixel C team hosted a Reddit AMA where they promised a series of updates will bring many requested features including multitasking and the ability to apps optimized for the landscape tablet form factor. Seems the Pixel C was originally a ChromeOS device but quickly shelved and repurposed to run Android. The brief time-to-market made it impossible to integrate the desired or necessary software tweaks to make the Pixel C more compelling.

“We’re working hard on a range of enhancements for Android in this form-factor – there are many things, like multi-window, that we’ve been spending a lot of time on – hopefully we can share more about this soon," Pixel C Team on Reddit AMA.
