Some devices like several of Samsung's Galaxy phones have the ability to float videos while you do other things on your Android device. Floating YouTube Popup Video brings that power to everyone.
The app allows you to open up a YouTube video in a small windows that you can move across your screen. You can search within the window and use pinch gestures to resize the it. Obviously, this works better the larger your screen is, but for users with tablets or large smartphones, it should be plenty roomy.

But Apple's share fell more than two percentage points to 17.1% from 19.4% in Q2 last year due an annual decrease in iPad shipments.
