Multitasking is the new trend that is governing the present mobile phone market, after Samsung Galaxy Note 2 launched this exciting feature. But as this feature is present only in selected phones, developers have been developing several applications to enable multitasking feature in Android device. Floating applications such as Floating Stickies and Floating Draw have been recently developed which simplify multitasking feature by allowing applications to float or hover over other running applications, this allows users to more easily perform multiple actions at once. Floating Notes and Floating Paint are the newly developed applications  which are, to jot down notes and to illustrate over another application, respectively.
Floating Notes is present in up to two resizable and minimizable notepads . Transparency can be adjusted and notes can be saved, shared, copied, and pasted.
This application can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.

Floating Paint application allows up to four resizable and minimizable windows to doodle on. A pane slides out from the right of a window of the device to allow users to set the window transparency, color of the paint, and the thickness of the paintbrush.
