Finally you can multitask on some iPADs

Apple was loved by the masses in hordes but it lacked features to attract enterprises. Multitasking is something you do routinely on PCs and on quite a few tablets. In its latest embodiment (iOS 9) the Apple iPad has provided multitasking capability. Now enterprises can work with multiple apps at the same time.

With the Slide Over feature, you could split the screen display and look at two different apps.


There is also the pic-in-pic feature which allows you to see video and another app at the same time.


All these features will be available in the following:
  • iPad Air
  • Air 2
  • Mini 2
  • Mini 3
Finally Apple has gotten itself ready to provide features that are available in Windows Surface and Samsung Android.

Review all iOS 9 features here (pics above from here):
