How to Minimize a Card on a Palm Pre
The Palm Pre uses the WebOS operating system. WebOS devices can run multiple applications at one time, called multitasking. To help you keep these applications organized WebOS uses a card view. Card view shows all the currently open applications as a series of small windowed cards. In card view you can open, close, rearrange and view application in rapid succession. WebOS devices use touch screens and an empty area below the screen, called a gesture area, to complete many tasks and actions including scrolling, zooming and text selection.
