It still doesn't and I don't expect this will change for the foreseeable future.

Just uninstalled iOS6. Cannot use this device without jailbreak. Sad but true.

Can ios6 multitask?

We're in 2012 now and you'd think Apple could at least have a real multitasking on their OS

Can you multitask?

Can you type here, place your ipad on gumtree and switch to Android at the same time?

Since iOS 4

I'm slowly making the switch to Android ... 2 weeks I get an Android phone over the iPhone

Then once I save up more, I'll get the tablet to boot. Like I've always said, the iPad is a stepping stone to a real device

But in all honesty - you don't think in this day and age multitasking should be available? I have to sit and stare at Newstand while it downloads a magazine, as it stops if I leave. Likewise for a video - I have to watch it buffer and can't browse/do anything else.

Partly - in my examples it can't multitask ....

So Apple are to blame for our lame broadband throughput? In this day and age they probably didn't design their iOS with 384kbps DSL and buffering Youtube videos in mind.

I have a number of apps installed on my iPad that run (rather than suspend) in the background when closed. iPod, Tune in radio and Teamviewer to name but a few. The functionality is supported in iOS since iOS4. The developers then choose (or not) to write it into the app.

I always have a good chuckle at the Android brigade and their obsession with multi tasking yet one of the most downloaded Android apps is advanced task killer, an app that closes any apps running in the background.

Anyway, enjoy the Droids meneer.

Personally I wouldn't mind a new droid my self but I've invested too much time and effort in understanding and ironing out the nuisances in iOS.

Yes, it is not without its flaws but a simple process of jailbreaking and all of a sudden you can unlock all that potential.

Said it before and I'll say it again, 15%-20% improvement on standard.

What I'll never understand is why someone who is unhappy as you are with your iDevices has not jailbroken them.

I'm not asking it to be able to wirelessly decode nuclear missiles in Korea ... I'm asking for a simple multitasking - and again you run to their rescue and defend them?

Wow - there is truly nothing wrong with Apple or their devices at all in your eyes.

Sad really :/

What's sad is you coming back to a thread that has been dead for the last 6 weeks to comment about a feature that has been around since June 2010.

He just wanted a stage for his moving to android announcement.

Which, btw, took me a couple of posts in another thread to actually convince him to move to Android.

Congrats Dolby, I'm sure you're going to be very happy.

That feature is not around ... The minute you leave Newstand or anything with a video, it stops either downloading or buffering. In other words it doesn't multi task ...

And rather find a thread already discussing ios6 than create a new one?

Nope ... Someon else brought it up :/

But also odd that you can't see the benefits of multitasking? Maybe it's an iFolk thing ...
