Prologue

Air View Is Not Always Available

Apps must be specifically written to support Air View, which means that as

of the writing of this book there are not very many apps you can use with Air

View. For example, although you can use Air View to preview emails in the

Email app (which is written by Samsung), Air View does not work in Gmail. Air

View is also a little buggy because it sometimes does not work. For example,

Air View is supposed to work in the Contacts app to preview contact informa-

tion, but it does not. By the time you read this book, some updates might

have addressed the bugginess of Air View, and vendors like Google might

have updated their apps to add support for Air View.
