Which iPads are compatible with multitasking? Split View — A self-explanatory term, it divides the iPhone screen into two halves. To close the center window, tap Done or Close. You can also tap the Multitasking button , then tap one of the buttons to change the center window to full screen, Split View, or Slide Over. When you have multiple apps open, you can make adjustments to customize your multitasking experience. When you switch to an app that has multiple windows open, the bottom of your iPad screen shows a shelf containing thumbnails of all the app's windows.
Tap one of the thumbnails to open the window. You can also swipe up on a thumbnail in the shelf to close that window. In some apps, you can also open a new window by tapping New Window in the shelf. With drag and drop, you can move text, photos, and files from one app to another.

Types of multitasking Apps that support multitasking can be used in a few different ways. Start multitasking You can get started with multitasking by using the Multitasking menu, the Dock, or Spotlight.
How to use the Multitasking menu to open multiple iPad apps Open an app. Tap the Multitasking button at the top of the screen. Tap the Split View button or the Slide Over button. Multitasking lets you, for instance, copy and paste information from one program to another -- handy if you're composing an email and need to quote from material on the Web or in an iWork Pages document. And as a result, it lets you pick up your work right where you left off before you switched to another task.
It's not uncommon -- especially if you work in a creative field -- to need three or four different programs Web browser, word processor, image editor and more to complete one project. If you're the type that works better to music, on the iPad 2 you can run the music player in the background while you switch between productivity apps. Most applications are "suspended" when you switch to another program -- they are frozen right in the middle of whatever they were doing.
Certain programs, however, like the music player, continue to truly "run" while in multitask mode because they're otherwise useless without providing you real-time data for instance, musical output. Is there anything a regular PC can do that the iPad 2 can't do? The device is undoubtedly sexy, but it isn't perfect. To find out some of the limits of multitasking with the iPad 2, click to the next page.
The iPad 2 crams a massive amount of computing power into a very small space. Consider that it has not one, but two cameras, up to 64 gigabytes of storage, Wi-Fi , Bluetooth and 3G cellular wireless capability, a 1-gigahertz, dual-core processor Apple's custom-made A5 and a high-definition display screen But it does have some limits, as posters to many a forum dedicated to Apple products have attested.
When it comes to multitasking, the chief complaint seems to be the amount of on-board memory available to run several tasks at once. For example, the highly popular game Angry Birds, with its addictive physics-based destruction of pig fortifications, can have trouble running simultaneously with other programs, according to some user reports [source: Caolo ]. In some cases, the iPad 2 has even been crashed running just one resource-intensive application at a time, like the tablet version of Apple's GarageBand music-composing software.
Apple "only" equipped the iPad 2 with MB of random access memory RAM -- many reviewers of the device have said 1GB would have been more appropriate. Lesson: don't be surprised if an app shuts itself down from time to time or requires a device gasp reboot. Typically it's not cause to panic, but rather a limitation for now of the hardware.
Just because you can multitask on the iPad 2, similar to the way you can on a laptop or desktop computer, should you? Will it actually help you to get more done, faster? For the lowdown on getting a productivity leg up while computing, click to the next page. If you're reading this, you probably know how debilitating it can be trying to work in an environment of emails constantly arriving, calls coming in and people interrupting you with their own problems.
So is it really helping if you try to work on several of your own tasks "simultaneously? There's a raging debate as to whether people can actually "multitask," versus switching between multiple tasks rapidly.
