Thanks, kinda thought so.
And were not talking split window multitasking or that it can but 1Gb will make them crawl but rather it just plain cannot, correct?
Not two programs side by side as in Split View which is only available for iPad mini4 and iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro.

Good to here. I would assume there would be massive lag because of the 1GB RAM and my 6+ experience.
There's a guide on the jail breaking subforums stickied that I created. Check it out and asked more questions there where more people can lend help.
There is that jailbreak solution but i decided to stick with the official iOS version for now and i really like some of the browser solutions and i love to use Easy Annotate for PDF/Word files showing side by side. It's still very limited in features and apps but for me it's currently enough.
If the topic starter decides to not jailbreak after all you can also go for a free version Side by Side (iPad only) with also Dropbox support.

Thanks.
My iPad had already been updated to iOS 9.1 so, if I understand correctly, currently it cannot be jailbreaked.
I'l check out that Side by Side app.

I looked further if there were others app and what exact features the Easy Annotate and Side by Side have and if it works as it should. Please find below the details per app which document formats they support and which cloud storage locations. I'm sending the developers of Dual PDF (to add support for and Dual Documents Viewer an e-mail today to see if they can improve their apps (e.g. English language and left/right view with Dual Documents Viewer).
