Only Apple can do this kind of innovation.
If you want to get into the minutia over dates, then let's throw out the original Note with split screen multitasking (Feb 2011), which predates the reveal of the Surface prototypes.Split screen, multitasking and snapping were unvieled in 2011 and developer preview were also released in 2011.

Great Apple! You are only 5 years late.
Apple is so behind in os tech its ridiculous, yet their fans claim it's the best is in the world.
Smh if this role were reversed, Apple fans would be screaming, up in arms about how everyone is copying them, how Samsung and windows is stealing their ideas.
How Apple revolutionized multitasking would be the topic on every tech site. But since Apple is late... Heck forget that, u will still see those titles even though they are 5 years late.
"For iPad Air 2 or newer"
"For iPad Air 2 or newer"
Surface was introduced in June of 2012... 4 months AFTER the Note 10.1 tablet was introduced (shown at MWC in Feb 2012) it came with split screen multitasking.![]()
Sounds like you need an actual computer!![]()

No one cares about copying of specific features because everyone does it. They all do multitasking to varying degrees, notifications, app launchers, etc.
What Samsung does is copy the way it looks, functions and launches and sell it to people that want Apple things but do not want to give their money to Apple.
The only things standing in the way of "full fledged applications" are customers willing to pay for the value of those "full-fledged applications".
In an ecosystem overflowing with freemium and $0.99 apps it is difficult to swim against that tide with a "full-fledged application" that sells for $30-40.
Apple knows what the public needs/wants but they will continue to add incremental small changes so they can string alone it's consumer base to upgrade to get features that are 3-5 years old.
This has always been their strategy but I think the next iPhone release will be a telling sign of people tired of Apple governing remedial features.
2015 will be the start of declining attraction to Apple products.
inefficient and impractical? Not exactly. Most full-featured software will be able to run fine with that RAM. But I get the nervousness regarding RAM... I've been in my share of 4GB vs 8GB RAM MBA discussions.Well yes ....that is a part of it... But with 2 megs of ram at best, full fledged applications will be inefficient/slow or downright impractical .
Yes, greater exposure of the file system is going to be needed. But it needs to be done intelligently. They can't just slap on a file selection dialog API and file manager and call it good.Plus file management .. So important .
Absolutely. I'd love to see a convertible Macbook that runs OSX when attached to the keyboard but iOS when separated. I believe that we'll see something close to that, but not with the iPad Pro.If we are talking Pro.. Then i expect Pro level performance and functionality.
I like to have a full blown photoshop or a 3d modeling application run smoothly on a "PRO" tablet .
Or even better an adaptive dual os hybrid convetable macbook
New macbook proves it can be done and it will be sweet !![]()
Or it should not be called "PRO"

Bigger phone are features? Either way I like the 3.5 inch phone the best. Wish they would go back. I am done with you people always bitching about everything.
There are many factors there for you, but obviously multiwindow isn't one of them. Perhaps the greatest reason why don't use the NoteTab much is because touch-optimized Modern UI apps are fewer and of lower quality than what is available for Android and iOS.Apple started over when it built iOS. Apple wanted an OS that would do what is needed, without being more than what is needed. Microsoft by comparison shoehorned Windows into a tablet. Look where it got them.
Right between the two we find Android. I have an nVidia Shield Tablet with lollipop, and iPad Mini Retina with iOS 8, and an Asus Vevo Note Tab8 with Win8 on it. The Notetab is my least used tablet. I use the nVidia and iPad side by side all the time.
The two tablets that can not do side by side split screen, are the ones I use the most. The one that can is the one I use the least.
I suspect that my anecdote isn't worth anything (and it shouldn't be), so why don't we look at the numbers...
Yeah, that's what I thought.
a little too late.
Surface Pro is where it's at.
So iPad Pro will have:
- 12.9-inch screen
- Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Cellular versions
- USB port
- Split-screen multitasking
- Multi-user login
- Keyboard attachment option
So the question is, how much? 16GB iPad Air 2 starts at $500, but with "Pro" moniker, I am guessing the entry level iPad Pro will be equipped with 64GB. So minimum starting price will likely be $700 for Wi-Fi 64GB iPad Pro, going up to $1030 for 256GB Wi-Fi + Cellular configuration.
That is awfully close to 12-inch MacBook ($1300 with Wi-Fi and 256GB, in contrast to my estimate of $900 for 256GB Wi-Fi version), especially if one adds keyboard attachment smart cover/case (which will easily cost at least $100).
