Multitasking Apps For Your iPad
By 
Want to run multiple apps at the same time on your iPad? Well, you can’t run multiple apps at the same time on your iPad, at least not until the iPhone 4.0 OS update arrives. However, you should not stop looking for workarounds. Some developers have decided to provide solutions. Several new iPad apps bring you the ability to run multiple instances side by side, allowing you to manage web interfaces such as Twitter, Facebook, and Gmail simultaneously without exiting the app.
Until Apple brings the multitasking capabilities this fall, the following apps will do the trick for you. If you have seen other apps that you like, please share your comments with us!
Desktop for iPad
This app features ten built-in applications. You can run two of them at a time under a unified interface. Through some split screen tricks, it gives you a browser and let you write an email on the same screen. You can also cut and paste between the two. In addition, you can use the split screen functionality to accommodate a calculator, currency converter, dictionary, maps with geo-location, a translator, unit converter, and a weather app.
While no substitute for true multitasking, Desktop comes in handy for some of you anxious to do multiple things at once on your iPad. Desktop is currently on sale for $0.99. We’ve heard that more features are coming, including a Text Editor and Compass, and the ability to long click and open a browser link in the opposite panel.
Desktop for iPad is available for $0.99 on the App Store.
