It's a fact of life: You can't run multiple apps at the same time on an iPad--not until the iPhone 4.0 OS update arrives, at any rate. Until then, there are workarounds that can give you a similar experience.
One such workaround is Desktop for iPad by Aqua Eagle. The $1 iPad app features 10 built-in applications; you can run two of them at a time under a unified interface. Mind you, this doesn't constitute true multitasking--you're still technically running one app. But if you've ever found yourself longing to run a Web browser while writing an e-mail on your iPad, this app could be for you.
Desktop for iPad includes a browser, dictionary, maps, unit converter, language translator, calculator, currency converter, e-mail composer, weather, and device stats--all of which can run two at a time via a split-screen interface. You can view your running apps side-by-side, top-down, or full screen.
While no substitute for true multitasking, Desktop could come in handy for people dying to do more than one thing at once on their iPads.
