What do you need a back button for when you have back swipe gesture?
How about, when you have over scaled or zoomed pictures and you try to move your screen to full left or right, so you can see whole picture, but it jumps "back".. I think N9 mail showing how pad it can work. If you zoom or you have too big page from mail software. Try to move left or right side of the screen. it always jumps to next or back post..
Yes, but you can't use/see (apps 5-9) them before you close some of those running apps (1-4 which you can see).
I think for 99% of the people showing more than 4 apps is useless, at least when the browser has tabs. Its important that they continue to run in the background though, so you can quickly "launch" them by icon.

The animations when swiping and opening apps are sooooo weird. They should definitely work on that. Also I hope they can present a real app next time .
Um, Marc said that it is currently optimized for 9 apps running on the "home" screen and that they are working on ways to make interacting with more easier.
Yes but that Finnish version of "UI demo video" he give much more info! You can't do anything (see or use, even they run from backround) apps 5-9, before you close some of 1-4.

agree, email app is broken on n9. But still I think it can be fixed without stupid backbutton using swipe in a different way. Maybe swipe on toparea to jump to next/prev and swipe contentarea to swipe in message....
thing is its a bit of a let down, sure its nice and all, and well done to them to throw something together in such little time, but when they said a customizable user experience i was thinking N900 style or something similiar, the only thing they've shown us is that your gallery pictures can be set as the background...

I don't think he said anything like that in the video. And I'm pretty sure I saw one video where it shortly showed more than 4 applications. In that case the "cards" were scaled to fit in one page.
So based on all the information I've read and seen, I believe currently 9 applications are the maximum shown.
