When will the iPad be able to walk and chew gum at the same time?

Granted yes I know it would chew up a ton of battery power, but will there be a time when the OS will allow you to say listen to something off of the iPod or a video app and say read a book or surf the web at the same time?

You can already listen to music and surf the web/read simultaneously.
Play something from the iPod app and it will continue playing when your using safari/iBooks etc.
Double clicking the home button while doing so brings up the controls for the music.

  • When will my iPad be able to run more than one app at a time?

    I would like to split my screen and use more than on app at a time.  Are their plans for this in the near future?

    Send feedback/suggestions to Apple.

  • When will the Verizon HTC One (M8) finally get the Extreme Power Saving Mode software update?

    Other carriers (AT&T, Sprint) already have it, but Verizon is taking forever apparently.
    When will Verizon customers be able to download and use this new mode?
    Thanks!

    I recently bought an HTC One m8 from Verizon, and like many other customers the Extreme Power-saving Feature was one of my keys factors to deciding to buy. I was very disappointed to learn after the fact that Verizon had not included, and has no intention to include the feature in the future. (Mentioned in other threads in the forum). I've read the argument made that Verizon never advertised the feature and never said it would be included with their version of the phone, but they also never went out of the way to warn perspective buyers that the feature, which is part of the m8 phone on other carriers and marketed by HTC as a part of their phone wouldn't be included. When people are researching phones before they decide what to get they read what features the manufacturer(s) have designed and implemented in those phones, not search to find all the things the carrier may have stripped from the phone.
    It's impractical and offensive to tell a customer that its his/her responsibility every time they buy a phone from them to dig deep into website forums and look for what they decided to remove from it that the manufacturer had built, and advertised to be in their phone. This is the type of thing that is bad PR for Verizon, and something that will make customers go to other carriers. I don't want to offend some of the nice Verizon employees who want to  help their customers and simply don't have the power to correct the issue themselves, but its in Verizon's best interest to either fix their network to work with this feature, or find/hire someone else who will. Doing it soon before the issue escalates and news of Verizon's statement to do nothing to correct the issue for their HTC One m8 customers spreads like wildfire and burns them.
    I hope someone at Verizon doesn't let the rest of the company go on ignoring the issue and steps up to find a  way to enable Extreme Power Saving Mode on the Verizon Network. Right now the impression many people have is something along the lines of: now that you've bought a phone from us, and signed up for a contract with us we don't care what you want and think.
    In the meantime it would be a good idea to enable the option in the phone with a popup message when enabled that reads something along the lines of: Verizon has concluded that in some cases Extreme Power Saving Mode can cause network issues. If you experience network issues please disable extreme power saving mode and return to one of the  other power modes. Verizon will continue to research the issue, and will institute a fix if/when a solution is found.

    No one here can answer this question. I'm sure Apple will announce it.

    No one here is an employee or representative of Apple. We are all users like yourself. We cannot know when or if Apple will release any additional products.
    You can leave feedback to Apple about the iPad here:

  • When will the iPad get Google Maps?

    When will the iPad get Google Maps?

    As well, the Google map apps is a stand-alone App and does not integrate.
    The Apple Maps is a foundation app that links/integrates to the other Apple apps and services running on your IPAD as required (ie Find my IPAD).   It cannot be removed and so it is always working for you.
    I also find the Apple maps satisfactory for my needs.

    No one here can answer the question (if or when that might happen). We are users here and do not speak for Apple. In fact, it violates the TOU to speculate about future Apple plans.

  • When will Apple iPad reach the Philippines? And how much will it cost here?

    Hi Apple Support!
    I'm from the Philippines and I just want to ask, when will the iPad reach our shores?
    Local technology blogs have already published articles about it (like this one: http://www.techpinas.com/2010/01/apple-ipad-tablet-finally-unveiled-by.html , which do nothing but excite Filipinos on the coming of these products. I personally like the form factor and the price point and I am sure to get one when it arrives here.
    But I just want to know when exactly Apple plans to ship iPad here so I know just how long I should hold my purchase on any tech product to save money.
    Thank you, Apple! iPad is amazing!

    The same blog updated as per my request:
    http://www.techpinas.com/2010/01/apple-ipad-philippines-price-specs.html
    BUT Still no Philippine pricing info.
    Anyone from Apple Asia Pacific who can give word on this?
    Thank you so much!

    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • When will the ios6 download be available for my iPad 3?

  • When will the iPad mini be available online? I need to purchase it soon for school!

    When will the iPad mini be available to purchase online? It says in-store only! It's been like that for the past 2 weeks!

    I am in the same boat. I have a $300.00 gift card that I want to put towards a 64 GB Verizon iPad Mini.
    The Apple store shows them shipping in 1 week for quite a while now. How is it that Best Buy has none of these for a long time now? I mean they are a retailer of Apple Products Right?
    I think I will just sell my gift card and be done with them. It will much less of a headache to just buy from Apple.
    I hate these store gift cards !!!!!!!!!!!!
